Nino Grenache Petite Sirah Dolcetto Sangiovese 2011

A very delicious Montepulciano from Tuolumne County. A dry red wine with good balance of fruit and acidity. Enjoyable tannins give the wine a complexity that was a pleasant surprise. Definitely an old world style wine that went very well lamb and steak. — 10 years ago

Poggio Le Volpi

Epos Frascati Superiore 2010

Tasted 16/10/2016

Third out of 3 bottles we bought during honeymoon trip 4 years ago. Being captured by heavy rain at Castel Gandolfo (residence of Pope), we nestled at lovely cellar tasting Poggio Le Volpi wines. Our photographer called us urgently to depict with double rainbow, whilst all locals were crying and shouting "auguri" )))

Frascati Superiore (Malvasia di Candia / Malvasia del Lazio / Trebbiano 50/40/10), harvested late, fermented in 40-hl oak vats for 40 days, kept on lees 3 months.

Dense brass to orange color, yellow gold glitters.
Surprisingly fresh nose of mint, sea salt, medlar, wet limestone, kumquat, roasted almond, touch of withered grass.
Off-dry (despite raising) palate, medium in body with quite lively acidity. Flavors of buckthorn, yellow plum, tangerine, soaked apple, apricot. Herbs on background.
Buckthorn, citrus peels and ginger apricot on slowly vanishing finish.
Was nice pair to flounder fillet.
8.5* actual, 9.0* considering other 2 bottles tasted "young".

Barraco (Nino Barraco)

Vignammare Grillo 2017

Interesting twist on the typical ‘natural’ wine style. Apple notes are muted and instead we get tons of lemon, some nuttiness, and a very long salty finish. Only small gripe is the alcohol. A tad too aggressive for 11.5%. — 8 years ago

the best wine made in my home valley. It uses the same process as Amarone but it is smoother and fresher without loosing complex structure and strong cherry and caramel — 9 years ago
