The 2018 Barbaresco Bordini is a dark, full-bodied wine that expresses the natural intensity of this sector in Neive. Readers will find a bold, structured Barbaresco endowed with serious depth. Black cherry, sage, menthol, licorice, mocha and spice are all kicked up in a Barbaresco that balances energy with size. The 2018 is one of the best versions of this wine I can remember tasting.

From tannico. A dry cortesi that is on the edge of being exceptional. Pair with pasta in cream sauce or sweet Italian cheese — 7 years ago
Approximately 50/50 Nero d’Avola and Perricone which is a beautiful blend! High in acidity, quite tannic and plenty of red fruit. Also a “rustic” touch. Everything is still a bit on its own but after some additional cellartime this wine should be stellar! — 4 years ago

Rivertti Massimo Viarivetti22 Rosato Langhe DOC 2020: Light. Bright. Balanced. Youthful flavors of strawberry, watermelon, cranberry & rhubarb. Short dry, yet refreshing finish. All in all, a beautifully-crafted, 100% Pinot Noir rosé from Piemonte and a perfect pairing for poolsides and summer days! Cheers🍷 — 5 years ago
Thursday - back to wine drinking! Take that work week. With a spritz if the Coravin, half a decanted bottle, here I come.
Smells of stress from a week of clients with their networks, and crushed dried berry blend baking between some river stone.
The initial wave of relief that flows over me, is relaxing and introspective. It also tastes like unripened fruit, rock struggled vine, persimmon and black cherry.
Like the emotions I have collected, the bitter tannins have tannins of their own. Good thing I like tannins, both in wines and in clients.

Beautiful rust color. Earthy, dry, subtle notes of stewed cherry, dirt, cocoa powder, pomegranate, & subtle coffee. More fruit forward than I remember. Dry, tannic finish. Medium acidity. — 7 years ago

On the nose the red fruits are a bit shy and overshadowed by the earthy and savory notes of black tea leaf, tobacco, tar, balsamic, and licorice. The flavor is much more balanced with sweet cherry leading the way. Medium body. Lively and delicate on the palate. Mellow dry tannins.
