Giuseppe Rinaldi

Rosae Langhe DOC Ruché 2018

Darker colour than the 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo tried earlier in the week. A little more rustic and less expressive on the palate but remains true to Piedemont with rose and cherry flavours and appealing texture. New grape variety for me which is interesting. Lower price point so accessible entry to the Rinaldi style which I’m currently thinking is similar to Bartolo but a less little less savoury. — 5 years ago

Angelo Langhe DOC Nebbiolo 2015

Cherry in front, dry & lingering, chewy. I like it & it was one of the least expensive of this grape, but still a bit much for me. — 9 years ago

Chateau Feuillet

Valle d'Aosta DOC Fumin 2016

My first fumin. Dark fruit, earth, spice, leather. For a wine that was 6 years old, it still had a remarkable Alpine freshness to it that I found to be very exciting. Will definitely try others! 90% Fumin, 10% Syrah. 8/14/22. — 4 years ago

Tenuta di Fessina

Musmeci Etna DOC Nerello Mascalese 2011

Пьяная вишня, малина, калина, чай, тимьян, сухая мята, сухая земля. Среднее тело, живая кислотность, мягкие, чуть подсушивающие танины, аккуратный дуб. По стилистике похоже на неплохой коммунальный пино нуар, но по-южному жарковато и загорело. — 7 years ago

This guy is like the Jacky Truchot of Alto Piemonte. Light color, yet amazing finesse and delicacy along with a brilliant texture. Gorgeous nose. Cherries, spice, sawdust, Rainer cherries as well, some lurid feral aromas as well. So complex, delicate and detailed. Palate is beautifully fruited with lovely elegant tannin and gorgeous bright cherries rule the day. Dusty elegant tannin and sappy fruit finish it off. Needs maybe 1 hour to turn into the lace monster it becomes. — 8 years ago

Planeta

Etna Bianco DOC Carricante 2012

Interesting and well made. Carricante plus an (integrated) oak treatment. Savory and iodine notes on the nose. Fleshy, melon and pear. Great texture. Held up great to lamb sous vide with lemon confit. A bit heavy handed but delicious. — 8 years ago

Alois Lageder

Tenutæ Lageder Krafuss Südtirol-Alto Adige DOC Pinot Noir 2013

2013 vintage. First time ever that I taste this wine. Wine was closed and showed little. High upfront minerality and pleasant acidity. Dropped a considerable amount of tannins. Backward fruit and quite a good burn. Need to get a vertical on this. — 9 years ago
