2014 - San Martino della Battaglia is one of the smallest DOC in Italy, that counts 30K bottles for 8 producers. This white is based on Tuchì grapes (actual name for Tocai), it represents a bold move to reaffirm its past identity and visibility to the market niche of Tocai/Tuchì aficionados. An amazing small jewel to discover on the southern shores of Lake Garda. — 10 years ago

Excellent Barbera from Alfieri. Just in its prime but would have lasted at least another 5 years. Bought a few cases at the beautiful Alfieri castle in San Martino, near Asti. Well worth a visit. — 11 years ago
