Giacomo Borgogno & Figli

Antichi Vigneti Propri Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 1967

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

Vigneti delle Dolomiti Teroldego 2014

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

Vigneti del Gaso Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2006

9.0

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

Costa del Vento Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2012

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

Hey, that is a very good find
Derthona is a name that means timorasso and no oak
You will find other little winemakers labeling Derthona their own wines
I reckon that thanks to Valter Massa we have found in Italy a true expression of terror
Also too the Costa del Vento that Valter produces is indeed an exceptional wine, it has a period in oak(I think big barrel), but the result is an extraordinarily nectar that finds a perfect balance after a few years
Indeed it is believed that the timorasso is related somehow to riesling apparently
We will hear about this grape and This Colli Tortonesi area in the future
Thanks for the tag, I did tagged u back on a old Massa review I did
Thanks again mate

@Ceccherini Cristiano Thanks for your detailed response. I think Enoteca Sileno in Melbourne are the importers.

Fontanasanta Vigneti Delle Dolomiti Nosiola 2012

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

Vigneti delle Dolomiti Pinot Grigio 2014

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
