Poggio dei Gorleri

Shalok Riviera Ligure di Ponente Granaccia 2015

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. — 5 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 — 8 years ago

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.

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. — 6 years ago
