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

Angelo Langhe DOC Nebbiolo 2015

Кардамон, калина, рябина, вишня, мятая клубника со стеблями, розмарин, смолистая хвоя, мята, тархун, белый квас, негрубый бретт. Среднетело, но прозрачно и легко, минерально, с тонкой, изящной кислотностью и легкой ягодной горечью на финише. Стройно и бодряще, с приструненным натуральным фанком, несложно, но динамично. — 9 years ago

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

Fattorie Romeo Del Castello

Allegracore Etna Rosso DOC Nerello Mascalese-Nerello Cappuccio Blend 2013

Light body and very "Pinot Noir" like. Bright red cherry and strawberry flavors. Mild tannins and light oak. Hint of smoke. Refreshing. Chill it a bit below cellar temp. Great story about the winery. A Mt. Etna lava flow just went around them 30 years ago. — 9 years ago
