I attended the Raw Wine Fair the last two years and these wines always made an impression in the large tasting format. I was able to bring back a bottle from Paris (I never saw them in the states) and am happy I did. The spicy, aromatic red fruit (and it’s velvety texture) from the Grenache speaks most assertively here, while the Syrah stalks quietly in the background. Nice bottle enjoyed with a spicy dry-rubbed and grilled NY strip. Outclassed by the Cantina Giardino aglianico if I do say so. — 4 years ago

1967... this bottle nearly brought tears to my eyes. It was absolute perfection. The nose was strong and poised, offering an tobasco core, strong olive juice notes, with pepper and savory spices but this ethereal sweetness that just makes you return for another whiff. This just kept giving and giving - layer upon layer of complexity. The body was absolutely wonderful with medium - acid and completely fully integrated tannins. This had a slightly balsamic feel to it (of course) and pairing with a vine ripened tomato and salt was out of this world. This was an incredible bottle and one which I will not easily forget. — 5 years ago

This is a surprising red. Surprising because it sparkles with a slight effervescence reminiscent of a rosé but with a much less mineral presence. It is deep ruby red which belies how light and refreshing it is. If you haven't seen this and want a great brunch wine or even a light red dinner wine, try it. — 8 years ago

This is one of two tranquillo or still Proseccos that I have tasted. Lemon and wet stones on the nose, round mid-palate (10% Chard, 90% Glera) with some stone fruit, decent acidity with a very long tart citrus finish. Very pleasing. — 10 years ago

One of my top wines of the year, this is the Aglianico I’ve been looking for - 12 years old but full of energy, red fruit, minerality, refreshing acidity, and tannins in the right place. At least 5-10 more years left. Wow. — 5 years ago

High level prosecco! Like a nice champagne but with the more enjoyable fruit of prosecco. — 6 years ago

It's an alive and living Greco di Tufo, produced with metodo ancestrale. The smell is amazing, fruity, marmalade and ginger. In the mouth is extremely fresh and rich, peach tea, sweet and sour and gently effervescent. A niche and rare wine! So happy to have tasted it — 8 years ago

Very nice aglianico. Dry. A little barn-yardy. Some cherry fruit. Not an easy drinking crowd pleaser but I think that’s what I like about it. With food. Dig it. — 6 years ago

A lot of citrus in the aroma but the flavor is more green apple and peels. Very very fresh and I like this one a lot. — 8 years ago

From Coda di Volpe rosso grape, both fruity and savory due to a little skin contact I'm guessing. I want this with some salty southern Italian pizza! Only bottled in magnum, like his Bianco & Rosso. — 9 years ago
