The wine producer Poggio dei Gorleri, from the small hamlet Gorleri, is located high above the Ligurian coast near Imperia, called the Ligure di Ponente, Italy. The producers’ focus is predominantly on the Pigato grape, delivering minerally, white fruit, very fresh white wines. This Shalok stands out from the white wines produced. Made of 100% Granaccia/Grenache/Alicante, this wine is bursting with red fruits. Quite dark with flavours of berry/blackberry fruit, some chocolate, some wood, with very smooth tannines. Only 1,122 bottles produced. — 4 years ago

Best Wine I have ever had. It's the first wine to allow me to think of wine differently. It's very buttery with soft citrus notes. It paired incredibly well with seafood. Truly unforgettable — 4 years ago

A nice pigato from Liguria. Floral on the nose, medium bodied, medium acid on the finish. But more interesting than that suggests somehow - just a nice wine. — 5 years ago

NatDiego - 2018. The Selvadolce from younger vines. Not as complex as the VB1, but perhaps a little fresher. — 6 years ago

What’s the latest on the debate about Pigato and Vermentino being genetically identical? In this wine, there’s plenty of Pigato on the nose, but the evergreen flavor is uniquely Vermentino to my palate. — 4 years ago

Nose: petro, diesel, rubber, old oak barrels. Taste: petro, strong oak, then it's fresh peach, fresh apricots, classic great aged Reisling, dry sherry. Let it sit, and decant, gets better and more fruit. WILD STUFF! (Brought back home from Manfreds in Copenhagen) Enjoyed with Aimee, Javaid, Tim — 7 years ago
