Luvaira Rossese di Dolceacqua Superiore 2017

Awesome wine. Nose is ripe but full of fresh black cherry; cherry liquer, herbal notes, some bay. Beautiful red fruit acid driven wine with lots of minerals on the palate. Rossese has got to be the varietal find of the year for me. So lithe and pure and delicious. But I think this will develop for years. — 4 years ago

Galeae Dolceacqua Rossese 2015

Continue to like Rossese, and this is a nice one. Lighter bodied - sort of Italy’s answer to loire cab franc. Tons of tart cherry - really tons of red fruit. Good acid. A bit simple perhaps quite tasty. — 5 years ago

Terre Bianche

Dolceacqua Rossese 2017

This is a nice, light bodied, soft red with excellent pure fruit that’s all still held together with good acid. Perfect at about 55 degrees. Nice and a good value. — 6 years ago

Marea Cinque Terre White Blend 2021

Bright, clear lemon yellow…notes of citrus, grass, minerals, lick a stone… complex, earthy, salty but much lighter than expected. It’s the acid/fruit balance… this wine makes me smile. — 8 months ago

Riviera Ligure di Ponente Pigato

I love Pigato (and always will). This expression has some more concentration and density to it, but still screams saline and some fresh, nearly herbal notes — 3 years ago

L'Antico Portofino Çimixà 2017

This is a wine of intense subtlety. Deep golden color and tight, but medium acidity. The notes are complex and many, but they are not obvious. Starts with strong saline and brine. Then moves to mineral and stone, with underlying green apple, slight zest, and some minimal tropical notes. It packs a punch and requires a long time on the palate to fully open up and appreciate.

Jill says it tastes like lake water, but I disagree.

Le Russeghine Riviera Ligure di Ponente Pigato 2018

A nice pigato from Liguria. Floral on the nose, medium bodied, medium acid on the finish. But more interesting than that suggests somehow - just a nice wine. — 5 years ago

Testalonga (Antonio Perrino)

Rossese di Dolceacqua 2016

Свекла, красная слива, брусника, сухая черника, вишневая косточка, чёрный перец, марганцовка, крошеный камень, легкая солоноватость во вкусе. Средне-легкое тело с хорошим напряжением, активной, но не слишком нервной кислотностью и мягким танином. Собранно и подтянуто, с нетяжёлой, естественной концентрацией. Вначале фрукт сух и неярок, подчинён минеральной структуре, при аэрации и нагревании вырастает в объёме, но не доминирует. Естественно, неглупо и с характером. — 6 years ago
