Great amarone, the touch of raisin, a sweetness on the back end. — 7 years ago

Lovely wine. Gian-Luca's excellent recommendation at Otto e Mezzo. Medium bodied, classic Nebbiolo nose, vibrant acidity gives the bottle great tension. Tannins quite supple. — 10 years ago

2010 - Transparent red as you might expect from a classy Etna Rosso DOC like this. Extreme coherence between nose and taste ends with an elegant red, supported by a perfect structure. A real bargain at €15 at the winery.

Fantastic wine. Was surprised how much I enjoyed it. A gift from a friend — 11 years ago
My first Etna wine. Impressive mix of lots of things I like from different grapes, all in one glass. Fruity and fresh but with depth , spice, and complexity. Somewhat pinot like in weight, but with tannin and structure. And even the sour cherry notes of a nebbiolo. Then there is a more meaty, herbal ending, like a southern rhone and tannin that gives a real firmness without weight. Balanced and really interesting. Would buy again in a heartbeat. Good alternative to chianti or fruitier expressions of rioja. Med bodied but with real fruit freshness and interest. — 6 years ago
I feel like I’m on a beautiful Italian coast eating seafood that was just swimming, enjoying this crazy good wine. The aromas start as pure funk, like a nutty, salty, hard cheese with some age. With air and temp a dense tropical tone emerges overlaying stones/seashells. It’s like squeezing lemon into a fresh oyster. Viscous mouthfeel with medium+ acid finishing somewhere near mezzo-soprano. — 7 years ago

One of my absolute favourite reds. A Vancouver wine festival find. Amazing, smooth, hint of black cherry, low tannins, not a lot of length but still amazing. — 10 years ago

Very different wine. Tastes like you ran through a fruit flower field with your mouth open. You will not find another wine like this. — 8 years ago
I've been exploring more of the Italian varietals lately, and really diving into the Bacci family of wines. This Vermentino they make is just unique enough amungst it's kind that it stands out a hair more than the rest. A faint reminder of petrol from some German Riesling on the nose, followed by fresh white flowers, hay, and honeysuckle. The pallet is fairly flinty and minerally, with notes of ripe white pears, lemon zest, and a crisp acidity to the finish without being sharp. Instead, it is a wine that plays it's tune steadily at mezzo piano, with a sharp ring of a high note to the finish. — 8 years ago
Mezzo punto di premio in più se li merita tutto per la grande eleganza generale e per la magnifica fattezze dei suoi tannini senza dilungarsi troppo sulle caratteristiche varietali ben presenti e evidenti. Bevuto anche la 2015 appena svinato e il colore da solo pagava la visita — 9 years ago
