La Torrazza Canavese Rosso Nebbiolo Barbera 2016

My new ‘ house ‘ red- mountain Nebbiolo w some Negrette(I think), a fave Carema producer- under 17$ & beautifully balanced, tart ( but check as it evolves in glass) — 7 years ago

Outis (Nessuno) Etna DOC Rosso Nerello Blend 2015

Probably because I drink too much Etna and am a little spoiled, but this 2015 from the south east Slopes needs a couple of more years to get some tertiary volcanic flavors. Great floral notes and light cherry, but not a lot of persistent. — 8 years ago

Cariola Erbaluce di Caluso 2015

10% barrel ferment I think. Really highlights the structure and minerality it seems. — 10 years ago

Cancelli Vino Bianco da Pasto White Blend

CS
9.3

Woah!! Hold up. Briny, sweaty, leesy, metallic, concrete laden, pure grape juice. I have to apologize to the Bay Area for drinking 50% of the only sample bottle I got of this lovely Trebbiano. Zero additive, niente chimica, senza solfiti, funky, natty, super delicious wine -day three showing strong- no VA no EA, same oxidative nose as when it was uncorked, which was fresh as lemon rainwater on hot concrete. I want to drink much more from this producer, and I am not biased, even though I am fortunate enough to sell it in Cali! The Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is out of this world, truly one of the most unique I've ever tasted. If you see it, don't hesitate to expand your mind and liver on it. — 10 years ago

Terenzi

Montedonico Viognier di Maremma Toscana 2013

Maremma Toscana DOC 2013, Viognier grapes, 13.5%. Bottle tasted in July 2014. Very pleasant golden yellow color, and nose rich of floral and aromatics scents. Lately I really like this grape, and I think that this winery makes a excellent product (unfortunately small production and 2013 is already sold out). — 11 years ago

La Torrazza Erbaluce di Caluso 2012

I wish I had a better photo of this because I can't read the label! Wine was really yummy though. Fruity citrus taste. — 12 years ago

Poggio Verrano

Dròmos Maremma Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2007

Decanted and was surprisingly fruit forward with relatively subdued tannins. Notes of plum, licorice, and black cherry. I enjoyed with a plate of sausage and peppers with penne, but could certainly be drunk on its own. Very nice! — 8 years ago

Rosatello

Alti Vini d'Italia Rosé Blend

This is a great tasting Moscato for the price. Love the fact that I can get it at my local grocery store. — 8 years ago

Vini Biondi

Cisterna Fuori Contrada Ronzini Etna Rosso Red Blend

Good nerello with minimal oak. Needs lots of time to show itself, oddly, then iron and the volcanic minerals show. Definitely lighter than most which I appreciate. — 9 years ago

Tommasi

Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo Maremma Toscana Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Just as good as I remember it. Minerals. Earthy. Delicate oak. — 9 years ago

Moris Farms

Avvoltore Maremma Toscana SuperTuscan Blend 2010

Soft tannins and acidity. Light on its feet with Syrah and cab undertones. Dark berries with a hint of earth and spice. Medium intensity. Not quite what I was hoping for. — 10 years ago

Tenuta Dei Sette Cieli

Indaco Maremma Toscana IGT Red Blend 2007

I know my wife and I enjoyed it but don't remember much about it. Oh well, I guess this just means we need to have another bottle! — 10 years ago

Ampeleia Maremma Toscana Red Blend 2013

Dark chocolate raspberry and granite. Idk, not sure how this climbs the ladder to 9.2... I respect it and see how folks dig it but I'm not buying a case. — 8 years ago

Ferrando Vini

Black Label Carema Nebbiolo 2013

Having purchased several bottles, I wanted to give this a test run. Let it decant for two hours and indeed, she rewarded me. A huge nose of dried red flowers, violets, cranberry, cherry, a hint of earth and tar. Drinking fairly well now but she needs to lay for a few years to fully reward you. Carema is a wonderful region for Nebbiolo! — 8 years ago

Nice!

Avignonesi

Desiderio Toscana Merlot 2012

One of the best Tuscan merlots I can think I've had. Extremely inviting creme de cassis, ripe blackberries, cedar closet, menthol on nose. Dark fruit, baking spices, extracted black tea on palette. Developed nicely over course of a few hours. Finish is somewhat rustic and unlike the aroma or taste but give sense of place and I think will soften over time. — 9 years ago

I've seen bad reviews from people on this wine but I quite enjoyed it. Slight skin contact and time in barrel. There version of a white burgundy is what Ciro said. I work mainly with Italian wine and for me this was quite separate from the rest of Italy in a really good way. I felt the wine to be unique and complex and highly recommend it. — 10 years ago

Marchesi Mazzei

Serrata di Belguardo Maremma Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2001

Saving the best for last. Probably my fifth bottle of this in the last year, and this one, by far the best. Impeccable cork, earthy nose that blows off into soft cherry fruit from a well aged bottle from Tuscany. If I tasted this bottle first, I would buy more. But with 12 years of age, drinking beautifully. Acid, tannins in tact, while still providing supple fruit. Well done Belguardo. — 12 years ago
