Donnachiara

Beneventano Falanghina 2016

Great little wine from Campania to keep around. Went perfectly with a simple Aglio e Olio recipe. Soft florals on the nose - orange zest, white peaches, and honeysuckle. The pallet is Citrusy, bright, and slightly creamy/oily in mouth feel - Meyer lemon and mineral notes. — 7 years ago

The olives used in this olio novo were on the tree two months ago. Vibrant and intense, pleasurably bitter, great on toasted Italian bread with Maldon sea salt. From the recent Rare Wine Company offering. — 10 years ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2002

Velvety Brunello and showing its balance with age. Aged oak and still very spicy Sangiovese. Old label from them. Cooking an Entrecôte and aglio olio peperoncino spaghetti with broccoli and corn — 11 years ago

La Segreta Sicilia Cabernet Franc Blend 2013

Bere bene quotidiano....says the back label (good everyday drinking) which is spot on. Excellent value at €16 and excellent accompaniment to a good pizza. Not sure about the cocoa and balsamic notes, but stood up to 'olio piccante' and came out smiling -as was I. — 7 years ago

Bio Vio

U Bastio Riviera Ligure di Ponente Rossese 2014

Nice wine for the table. Had it with pesto-slathered pasta with French beans and new potatoes. Ligurian olio too. Keeping with the theme.

Oh, the wine? This is Liguria's Beaujolais, but with a different flavor profile. Light and flavorful. Nose has licorice, tomato skin, dark stones. Crushed plums and lots of cracked rocks. Some tannin actually, which may let this last and improve a year or so. But these are made to enjoy with a meal, at a cool room temp.
