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. — 12 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!

Bolgheri Piastraia SuperTuscan Blend 2013

Really good Bolgheri, great value. Refined and nicely arrayed palate of cocoa, chocolates and dark red fruit. The Syrah adds some oomph and structure. A yummy candied cherry quality and grippy tannins suggest additional cellar time could be rewarded. — 7 years ago

Trebulanum Terre del Volturno IGT Casavecchia 2012

Old school rustic Italian, quite dark fruited, salty. Medium body. Very tannic on the back end, very structured wine. Substantial acid. Needs a couple hours of air to come together and show properly. Pair with 🍝 for a pretty pretty good time. // turns into something special on day 2 — 8 years ago

I applaud your patience to get to day two on so many wines here.

@Jenks honestly, most red wine I drink these days I prefer on day 2. When I open a bottle I usually immediately decant half of it to my trusty 375, cork it, and stick it in the fridge. 2-3-4 days later these babies sing!

@Jenks the bigger, more conventional red wines I mean. The super natty, lighter / carbonic / no SO2 stuff doesn't usually hold up so I pound that. Heyo.

La Court Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2010

(2010) 18/20 Концентрированный аромат чёрных ягод с отчётливой животной нотой. Тельность вина выше среднего, кислотность высокая, таннины интенсивные. Вкус ягодный, переходящий в послевкусии в травянистый настой. Очень хорошо! — 11 years ago

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. — 12 years ago
