Piastraia Bolgheri 1997

Across the board, complex at every turn. Although this showed some age, having been harvested I've 16 years earlier, this monster is still gripping with significant aroma of dried rose, earth & pencil shavings. Slight aldehydic notes on the finish, loads of tannin, high alcohol, acidity, complexity & length. Could probably still cautiously age another 5-10 years. — 10 years ago

Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese Blend 2009

Olga Tuttle
9.9

Sicilian wine from the base of Mount Etna. 95% Nerello Mascalese, 5% Nerello Cappuccio. Soft but chalky, earthy, more low tones, herbaceous but not too much. Medium body, slight rhubarb, but again- not in the way wines can be when they are too young to drink. Really lovely wine. Apparently, the winery is no longer making wine due to lack of interest from the family heirs. — 11 years ago

As I understand it, their vineyard's been purchased by Marco de Grazia from the excellent Etna label Tenuta Della Terre Nere-- so the grapes are in good hands! Mmm, Nerello Mascalese!
