Light hint of nice smoke on the nose otherwise not much else. But the flavor was really nice with vanilla, black cherry.. and a long finish of white pepper. — 8 months ago

The 2019 Friulano is incredibly pretty and perfumed, impressing most with its lifted display of sweet florals, white smoke and peaches. It’s weighty in texture, even creamy at times, yet wonderfully balanced and poised, mixing ripe fruits with juicy acids to create a pleasantly round expression which seems to slowly melt away, leaving a hint of almond paste. There is so much to like here in this purely delicious Friulano. (Eric Guido, Vinous, Janaury 2021)

The 2016 Barbaresco is a gorgeous entry-level wine in this range. Dark and fleshy, the 2016 offers terrific depth as well as plenty of character, which is great to see in its peer group. Black cherry, plum, mocha, leather, spice and licorice all meld together. One of the more open wines in the range, the Barbaresco will also give readers an idea of what to expect. This is an absolutely delicious wine in its peer group and price range. The straight Barbaresco is a blend from Meruzzano and young vine fruit from Ronchi.

Nice wine, especially for the price. Has a distinctive sappiness that lingers on the palate in a nice way. Not overly complex necessarily but still enjoyable. — 2 years ago

This is an awesome vintage. No need to decant. More rich than the last vintage and really food friendly. Medium body (not light or tart) with nice tannins that are present to the finish. Great on day two and three. NBI — 3 years ago

A deep purplish red, opaque, slightly orange rim. Light cherry nose and palate, some waxiness, and a hint of mustiness. Quite balanced with low acidity, medium+ tannins. Approachable, ready, but not lengthy. Paired great with veal in red sauce. I would everyone within range to come to CuVino and checkout @Ralph DiBiasi stellar Italian wine list!

Tasting of a group of six Barolos and three Barbarescos from 1997 through 2001. Found it overly tannic, the group liked it better. — 3 years ago
