Bottle was moved before opening. Garnet color, with a cloudy look. After a little bit of funk on the nose that blew off right away, it uncoiled to reveal a gorgeous wine, with rose petals, red fruit and molasses on the nose. On the body, same flavors but very viscous, and ended with a very long finish . Great bottle, glad I have a few more. Additional note: it was a red cap bottle. — 7 years ago
Pure beauty and grace. Floral Gamay-like aromatics with damp roses, smoke, red currant, strawberry, tar and wet rocks. The expressiveness of Foradori’s wines is off-the-charts. There is such finesse and aromatic complexity, invigorating acidity on the attack and a gently firm grip on the mid palate. Elegance in spades. I love Foradori! — 8 years ago
Gaso is the family vineyard high on the hills of Marano di Valpolicella. Very attractive nose of resin, butterscotch, prune, ripe plum, and cherry. Unusually bright and vibrant palate. Authoritative yet silky tannins. I think I paid $35 for this small production Amarone. A steal. — 8 years ago
Rose petal, mint, violets, sweet red cherries and licorice....classic Nebbiolo...magnificent from the very first taste. I imagine another 15-20 years wouldn’t hurt... — 9 years ago

This was a fascinating Italian White from Piemonte. This is 100% Timorasso a varietal that was rescued from near obscurity by Walter Massa. It’s native and unique to the Colli Tortonesi. In the past many growers were ripping out Timorosso and planting the more prolific and boring Cortese (Gavi). Thank God for Massa once you taste this. Mid Gold in colour. Rich and textural with notes of fruit salad and honey. Apparently aged versions show petrol like aged Riesling. Amazingly zero new oak. On the palate an absolute fruit salad of flavours with a note of guava. Medium Acid. A flat out delicious wine which I will definitely seek out in the future. Could keep this in the short term but irresistible now. Bought at Roscioli in Rome @Ceccherini Cristiano - your old haunt as a sommelier. One of the 1001 Wines. — 7 years ago


Super light on color and taste. Really enjoyable. Prob good with fish or any light meal. Easy in summer I bet. Cynthia recommendation. — 10 years ago
These wines just make you smile. I dare you sip this and frown. Layers of depth and intriguing earth tones, long finish that leaves the warm honey sensation in the back of your mouth. Fresh white fruit, apricots and orange blossoms. Earth is sensational and reminds you of wet granite and soft Indian spices. Makes you so happy. — 10 years ago
Rispetto alla 2009 i tannini sono più fini e i terziari si stanno evolvendo con un piacevole sentore di liquirizia che arriva nel finale — 11 years ago

I love this. Very similar to Chloe — 10 years ago
Bought this to cook with. Not a big Pinot Grigio fan. Most Pinot Grigio are too mineral for my taste. Tried a glass with an eggplant salad spiced with poblano pepper and it paired nice. Liked much better paired them by itself. Closer to a Sauvignon blanc in my opinion which is one of my preferred whites. I would buy again. — 10 years ago
