Love a nice light Rossesse to wash down an Italian dinner every so often.

Galeae Dolceacqua Rossese 2015

Continue to like Rossese, and this is a nice one. Lighter bodied - sort of Italy’s answer to loire cab franc. Tons of tart cherry - really tons of red fruit. Good acid. A bit simple perhaps quite tasty. — 6 years ago

Terre Bianche

Dolceacqua Rossese 2017

This is a nice, light bodied, soft red with excellent pure fruit that’s all still held together with good acid. Perfect at about 55 degrees. Nice and a good value. — 7 years ago

Punta Crena

Pettirosso Colline Savonesi Sangiovese Blend Rosé

Best bottle to drink on the dock while fishing for fresh Dungeness crab. Super fizzy, dry, and strawberries that remind of summer sun. Love. — 8 years ago

Colli di Luni Vermentino 2022

Citrus, gooseberries, flint, hint of gin-like botanicals. Meyer lemon on the palate, similar aromas to a Sancerre vur fuller bodied. — 10 months ago

Le Russeghine Riviera Ligure di Ponente Pigato 2018

A nice pigato from Liguria. Floral on the nose, medium bodied, medium acid on the finish. But more interesting than that suggests somehow - just a nice wine. — 6 years ago

L'Antico Portofino Çimixà 2017

This is a wine of intense subtlety. Deep golden color and tight, but medium acidity. The notes are complex and many, but they are not obvious. Starts with strong saline and brine. Then moves to mineral and stone, with underlying green apple, slight zest, and some minimal tropical notes. It packs a punch and requires a long time on the palate to fully open up and appreciate.

Jill says it tastes like lake water, but I disagree.

Testalonga (Antonio Perrino)

Rossese di Dolceacqua 2016

Свекла, красная слива, брусника, сухая черника, вишневая косточка, чёрный перец, марганцовка, крошеный камень, легкая солоноватость во вкусе. Средне-легкое тело с хорошим напряжением, активной, но не слишком нервной кислотностью и мягким танином. Собранно и подтянуто, с нетяжёлой, естественной концентрацией. Вначале фрукт сух и неярок, подчинён минеральной структуре, при аэрации и нагревании вырастает в объёме, но не доминирует. Естественно, неглупо и с характером. — 7 years ago

Nose: petro, diesel, rubber, old oak barrels. Taste: petro, strong oak, then it's fresh peach, fresh apricots, classic great aged Reisling, dry sherry. Let it sit, and decant, gets better and more fruit. WILD STUFF! (Brought back home from Manfreds in Copenhagen) Enjoyed with Aimee, Javaid, Tim — 8 years ago
