Paolo Bea dinner at Semo. All wines were prepared by opening and slow-ox, prior to service. Abbreviated notes due to the setting. The 2017 Pipparello pours a garnet color with funky Montmorency cherry, red carnations, and balsamic notes. Wonderful structure and delicious with the quail. Drink now with patience through 2037.

Beautiful. Nice bright cherry and dark fruit, balanced tannins. Restrained Nebbiolo, a pleasure to enjoy. — 5 years ago
Barbera & Bonarda blend from an Emilia Romagno maker. I love this style- gave a good 45+ min decant. Imagine the Bonarda offsets the Barbera fruitiness. Keeps a taut line btw vegetal acidity & that earthy fruitiness. Natural maker of some serious orange wines. 13% alcohol. Didn’t hurt that we drank at sunset, on the Hudson River at home. — 7 years ago

Served blind . Arrogantly said after a quick smell & taste, Burgundy from 2018 , high quality village wine. WRONG! Beautiful flavors of cherry, earth and mineral. Pepper red fruits, herbs and mouthwatering acid attacked my palate. Still has structure to endure for years. — 8 months ago

2018 vintage.
100 % Nerello Mascalese grown organically on the northern slopes of Mount Etna at 600 meters above sea level. This wine is made to drink young.
Pale, bright cherry in colour with mineral notes of berries and dry brush. Cleansing acidity with flavours of earthy, crunchy red fruit and crisp strawberries. — 5 years ago
Lovely super Tuscan — 8 years ago
Lovely selection... a nice mix of the various tones — 10 years ago
Light body and very "Pinot Noir" like. Bright red cherry and strawberry flavors. Mild tannins and light oak. Hint of smoke. Refreshing. Chill it a bit below cellar temp. Great story about the winery. A Mt. Etna lava flow just went around them 30 years ago. — 10 years ago

2021 vintage.
Sangiovese 60 % and Cabernet Sauvignon 40 % from Pitigliano estate in Maremma, Tuscany with a southwest exposure.
Owned by Tommasi family since 1997.
Rompicolla is ‘breakneck’ but means tremendously steep and slippery slope…a risky adventure.
Soils are deep in volcanic tuff.
Stainless steel ferment and matured 1 year in 65 HL Slavonian oak casks.
Red cherries, raspberries, savoury spice, and floral.
Medium bodied but fresh and clean on the finish.
This wine loves food ….and I appreciate that. — 8 months ago
Volcanic organic wine - aromas of green coffee beans, small red fruits, a little funk. Lots of acidity and freshness. — 6 years ago

Черри-кола, чернично-ежевичный конфитюр, пряная слива, молодая морковь с ботвой, тархун, мята, лепестки фиалки, экстракт темного пиона, горькая корица, чуть лакричный финиш. Мягкая игристость со спелой, сладкой, но не липкой фруктовостью и подсушивающим послевкусием. Максимально легко и непринуждённо, но при этом насыщенно и не без определённой структуры. Не прыгает выше головы, но делает то, что должно. И да, это идеальный аккомпанемент к пицце. — 8 years ago
