Very interesting has a lot on minerality, but isn’t dry. It isn’t sweet either more round. — 2 years ago

Seafood/salmon friendly. A bit more sweet that I’d like but still very good. A compromise to the Occhipinti that we can’t find anywhere. — 3 years ago

Nero the way it should be, nervy, juicy and with an herbal note to complement its bright berry fruit. Occhipinti FTW. — 6 years ago

$26ish price point. Very easy drinking. Easy complexity, minimal fruit, mostly earth, spice, mineral notes without being an overpowering wine. — 6 years ago

The 2022 Sottobanco, a varietal Procanico, displays dried flower, crushed rocks, underbrush and apricot aromas. Textural and weighty, it’s lifted by zesty acidity and mineral tones. An ambrosia-like wave of nectarine and ripe melon follows. The 2022 finishes spicy and with candied ginger hints. $24.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2023) — 2 years ago

Nice orange wine, a little funky on the nose, lots of citrus on the palette — 6 years ago

Beautiful and intense. Dried herbs, tomato vine, tart cherries, fresh raspberries, olive compote. From a small producer and terroir that invokes natural production and vinification. — 6 years ago

Buono mercato. Value. Montepulciano sarebbe il mio favarito. Sarebbe meglio di SP 68 dal Occhipinti. — 8 years ago

100% greghetto rosso which is apparently a clone/relative to sangiovese, but there are different opinion about it.
The wine is made in amphora
Round, velvety and yet vibrant
Good and long — 3 years ago

Single vineyard fire. Delicious on open and fleshed out over time. Candied dark cherry fruit, acid, tobacco and roses. Delicious and best wine had in 2021 so far. — 5 years ago

I’d been jonesing to try the Martha Stoumen collection for a long time. I’ve read plenty on her background - her training under Occhipinti at Cos and I love her thoughtful articulation of California terroir, natural wine, and Sicilian grapes.

This is fun bright sunshine at a meager 10%. The smell of oysters mid slurp - briny ocean and minerals. Flavors of sour lemon drop.

Attentive and still easy. — 6 years ago

I pretty much love every Ariana Occhipinti touches. Second time with her Tami’ project. It’s murky but cohesive. Stems, minerals, red fruits, and good acid all in excellent balance. — 7 years ago

Frappato and Nero d'avola still a perfect marriage. But in this one the oak was overpowering and out of balance. Either the oak's to new or it needs some more time. Eager to compare this to Grotte Alte by Arianna Occhipinti which is made just north, if it just wasn't sold out everywhere... — 8 years ago
