I ended up with this bottle of wine after a very good Italian eatery down here in Miami botched an order. It was a trade for the inconvenience - their choice. What a surprise. Light and fruity on the nose with limestone and blackberry. Drinks like velvet. Cherry finish without any bite. What a pleasant win for me. No surprise given I am a very big fan of Sardinian wine — 7 years ago

A gorgeous Barolo from 2005 vintage. The cru is Le Coste from Barolo village. The producer is Ferruccio Grimaldi (his hands in the background) from Giacomo Grimaldi winery. Out of magnum, so perfumed intense and charming. The structure is dense, silky. Lovely balance and long finish! Beautiful Barolo! — 9 years ago
Owned by Ferruccio Lamborghini, yes, the same inventor of the sportscar, Lamborghini Umbria Campoleone 2006 is a magnanimous blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot. While it won't take you from zero-to-sixty in less than three seconds, it sports a generous nose of black plums, steeped blackberries, leather, anise and flowers. On the palate, there is ample plump, juicy fruit—black cherries and spice and amid layers of ripe tannins, and enough acidity to provide both lift and length. Tasty and easy drinking. — 9 years ago

Cranberry sauce, dust, orange zest aromas. Bright strawberry jolly rancher fruit on the palate... Bramble and tobacco. Light to medium body. Would be great with food, but drinking it after dinner tonight. — 8 years ago

Riesling from Langa. Very fine. Had it with Paolo, Ferruccio and Cristiano. High school friends reunion after 28 years! Memorable. Had it with vitello tonnato e carne cruda. — 7 years ago
Oh wow. This isn't your regular Vermentino, and it is not a food companion. It is a fruity, well balanced, rich, charming stand-alone white wine. Glad I had it after the Ischian chicken, not with it. Hints of ice wine, and yes, you can have it with cheese and/or for dessert. Discovery at #LimaLima, Berlin (to be sure: LL is a Mediterranean shell, nothing to do with Peru) — 7 years ago
Velvety alternative to our favorite Vernatsch. Thanks For the great recommendations Danny at Piccino — 8 years ago
Michela è una persona tanto esile e delicata quanto energica quando trasmette l'amore per i suoi vini. Prima degustazione di domenica alle 8.30 di mattina! Questo vino fa capire quanto di buono possa aggiungere il vignaiolo trasformando un vitigno esuberante e spesso sgraziato in una pezza di velluto che si lascia accarezzare. Provatelo e confrontate o con altri della stessa varietà e capirete! — 8 years ago
Light and delightful for any occasion. — 9 years ago
