Cascina Bruni
Sot - Monopole Serralunga d'Alba 2016
The 2016 Sot-Monopole is utterly fascinating. This is the first vintage which famed Bordeaux consultant Eric Boissenot has worked along side Cristiano Veglio, and the result is simply magnificent. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from the Sot-Monopole Grand Cru which is situated on the Carpegna hillside in Serralunga. This was vinified in French oak barrels for over 40-days prior to spending 18-months in new French oak barriques and an additional year in bottle prior to release. The wine itself instantly impresses as it opens to seductive aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, violets, tobacco, graphite and spices all come together beautifully and burst from the glass. On the palate this possesses a gorgeous full body with outstanding overall structure and balance. It goes on to impress as it displays a remarkable combination of both power and finesse, as layers of wonderful ripe dark fruits gracefully build and expand on to the long polished finish. It is certinaly special to taste such a fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon, but the fact that this comes from within the commune of Barolo makes it even more interesting. There were only 75 cases of this exceptional wine produced in 2016. — 5 years ago
Falesco
Montiano Lazio Merlot 2010
Plummy mulberry aromas with dusty tobacco notes. Took a while to open up. Fruit driven on the palate with dense mouthfilling flavours finishing with persistent powdery Tannins. Not particularly “Italian “ - could be new world. I bought this at Roscioli in Rome @Ceccherini Cristiano where you were the Sommelier. An excellent restaurant and outstanding cellar. One of the 1001 wines. — 5 years ago
Montiano used to be looked at as the best regional wine for Lazio
I am happy that we moved on from there, but technically this is a very good wine, not unforgettable if you allow me
@Bob McDonald Roscioli is indeed still the best place to go to in Rome, but when it comes to buy wine it is hard to get right the right wine, also hard for the sommeliers to guess what is the level of knowledge or curiosity u have
You should try thr Habemus from Lazio at the moment is the top wine

Lamie delle Vigne IGP Primitivo
I love this vintage (2010) of Christiano's Primitivo. I love it too much. Anyone could pick at the many faults in its nose & palate, but I'd quietly ignore them and enjoy my life. Joy wine.. "Keep playing those wine games to-gether" — 9 years ago

Wendouree
Clare Valley Cabernet Malbec 2002
Aromas of Iodine Earth Menthol/Eucalyptus, Bark of Medium plus Intensity. On the palate red and black savoury fruits which fill every corner of the mouth. A full bodied old school Australian Cabernet blend of amazing intensity coming from those ancient vines in the Clare Valley. Wendouree is an Australian vinous treasure which @Ceccherini Cristiano and I post about from time to time. The wine finishes with ultra fine persistent Tannins. I have not always been a fan of Wendouree (see previous Delectable notes) but this is an excellent wine. They probably need at least 15 years before they start to hit their straps. — 5 years ago
Vigneti Massa
Costa del Vento Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2012
This was a fascinating Italian White from Piemonte. This is 100% Timorasso a varietal that was rescued from near obscurity by Walter Massa. It’s native and unique to the Colli Tortonesi. In the past many growers were ripping out Timorosso and planting the more prolific and boring Cortese (Gavi). Thank God for Massa once you taste this. Mid Gold in colour. Rich and textural with notes of fruit salad and honey. Apparently aged versions show petrol like aged Riesling. Amazingly zero new oak. On the palate an absolute fruit salad of flavours with a note of guava. Medium Acid. A flat out delicious wine which I will definitely seek out in the future. Could keep this in the short term but irresistible now. Bought at Roscioli in Rome @Ceccherini Cristiano - your old haunt as a sommelier. One of the 1001 Wines. — 5 years ago
Derthona is a name that means timorasso and no oak
You will find other little winemakers labeling Derthona their own wines
I reckon that thanks to Valter Massa we have found in Italy a true expression of terror
Also too the Costa del Vento that Valter produces is indeed an exceptional wine, it has a period in oak(I think big barrel), but the result is an extraordinarily nectar that finds a perfect balance after a few years
Indeed it is believed that the timorasso is related somehow to riesling apparently
We will hear about this grape and This Colli Tortonesi area in the future
Thanks for the tag, I did tagged u back on a old Massa review I did
Thanks again mate

(Testat blint). Ville inte att det här skulle vara bra. Men ack! Vinernas Cristiano Ronaldo. Extremt självsäkert och stöddig. Men sen går det och gör ett hattrick och avgör Champions Leauge-finalen. Man kan inte låta bli att bli golvad. En nästan omänsklig perfektion. Allt sitter. Alla klassiska Napa-smaker, en otrolig volym och kraft kombinerad med silkeslen dryckesupplevelse. Man vill bara dricka mer, glad att jag fick två glas. Kommer kanske aldrig få testa igen, men minnet kommer leva kvar. — 4 years ago
