From Eataly tasting. 2018. Very nice red. Really liked it. SP1523 on side of label. — 7 years ago
Really nice Brunello from a very small producer. 45 euro at the winery and it compares very favorably to the nearby Casanova de Neri. — 8 years ago
(DELECTABLE STAFF: This wine is from Orvieto in Terni, which is in Umbria. All the categories are already in your system. Please file this wine correctly! :) ) Tangerine and herbal notes dominate in this lovely wine with lively acidity and just the right amount of terroir. — 9 years ago
Interesting red from Emilio Bulfon. For those not familiar with this winery, his goal is to rescue old, nearly extinct Italian grape varietals and bring them back. Most of these grapes were common in Roman times, I believe, so these are pretty cool wines, geekily speaking. This one is pretty rich, but not quite as complete as the picolit neri riserva, which I think is his best. — 9 years ago
It’s alright, a little bland. Dark cherries, oak or cedar, maybe some herbs 🤔 — 2 years ago
Enjoyed this somewhat exotic wine. Recommended by a sommelier at a wine shop. Apparently the grape was assumed extinct for 400 years until it was discovered growing on someone’s property in the 1980s. Taste is akin to a Nebbiolo. Blueberry and blackberry on the nose. Bright berries with balanced acidity and dryness. Would love to have again. — 3 years ago

1968 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Condonia Rioja. Drank for family dinner in Napa. We decanted just before white wine was served. At first drank like a beautiful burgundy- raisiny, sweet, with a smooth finish. Unfortunately, the wine petered out a little quickly. Thankfully, we had the 2001 Casanova di Neri Brunello. — 9 years ago

Black cherry and raspberry fruit with earth, forest floor, licorice, mineral and iron. — 2 years ago
Surprisingly approachable for a Brunello despite a richness that the wine exudes. Lots of forest floor alongside of nicely structured tannins that evolve in the glass. A little more alcoholic than I normally expect from this varietal. Comparable in many ways to the white label of Casanova di Neri… — 4 years ago
Great vermentino!!!! A must! — 6 years ago
Interesting nose but excellent palate - Black pepper, cherry, woody, blackberry and very easy to drink - goes well with our Italian meal. — 7 years ago
2001 Le Macchiole Messorio Merlot. Compared this wine to the '01 Casanova di Neri Cerretalto Brunello Sangiovese at the lunch which Ash prepared at the house. By a small margin, this wine was our fave of the two. Sweet fruit on the nose, but balanced, and a nice mouthfeel with a pleasant amount of tannins. We really enjoyed how balanced and delicious this wine was. — 9 years ago
Jaw dropping aromatics of chalk and wet stones and buttery croissant unusually pronounced, out of a wider bowled white wine glass than the white wine Zalto I normally use for this. Good to note. Body is medium plus and has great concentration at this price point, due to barrel fermentation and aging. Poor man's Krug basically and that richness I haven't found at a price lower than this. Perfect pairing with 90 day aged beef crudo and perigord truffle tajarin. Neutral acid cut the mild spice and iodine flavor of spaghetti neri and even worked lovely along with zeppoli with lavender cream. — 9 years ago
