Dry, tannic and acidic. A very good wine with notes of leather, ref fruit, and mushroom. — 7 months ago
Solid Sangiovese in a very strong price point. I have bought these wines from Sassetti for decades. — 3 months ago
Ettore Germano's Alta Langa Extra Brut 2020 is revelatory, the sparkling wines from this Barolo producer are some of the best I have had outside champagne. His Barolos are knockouts too! Sergio, the winemaker and current family head of the winery, is a passionate
sparkling wine lover and it comes through in his sparkling wines.
Starbright-straw color, a nicely thick and frothy mousse of tiny bubbles. The nose is linear, with Meyer lemon, pear, chalk, white flowers, with a touch of reduction initially that blows off. Open this about an hour before you start to pour it out. The fruit really pushes through later with air and adds some stone fruit notes as it warms up and opens. Medium bodied, med+ acidity, med+ young, complex, and tightly layered flavors sail into a fresh and very confident and complete long finish.
Made up of Pinot Noir & Chardonnay, 80/20, the Chardonnay is fermented in 500L foudre and Pinot Noir in steel, 30 months en tirage, dosage not labeled but tastes like 2 g/L or so. 93 points Kerin O'Keefe, I agree with that score. — 3 months ago
around a $40 price point i think, bright, nice bubbles- would have preferred a little more breadiness (at this price point) — 7 months ago

Crisp, very peachy, a little floral . Maybe white peach or mimosa? Nice acid but balanced. — 17 days ago
