From Julia: "Lighter but with a lot of substance." Sommelier: "Earthy, like the soil of freshly picked strawberries. From the red sandstone cliffs of the Main valley in Germany." — 11 years ago

Customer brought this in and was nice enough to let me taste this super elegant Nebbiolo from Oregon. Earthy and ripe red berries in the nose. A guzzler of a wine for me — 10 years ago

Killer saison that focuses on the varying effects of yeast versus hops or malt. The latter two remain constant. — 11 years ago

By the first time since I saw Cerretalto the vineyard with my eyes, I felt in love with the wine: a mystic core which pour out from that ferrous almost mulberry soil brushed by a gentle breeze that blow through the hills of Val d'Orcia; sober, clear, severe, tidy wine a generous and enduring expression of that certain land. — 10 years ago
