Verduno Pelaverga 2022

This wine shows a medium dark ruby color in the glass. The nose is clean and savory, with dark fruit shining through a haze of earthy tones. On the palate, the flavor of bright red cherries takes charge. It is a fresh mouthful with zippy acidity and gentle tannins. Among the winery’s recommendations for pairing is eel, which is maybe the oddest pairing suggestion I’ve ever seen on a winery website. It does sound good, though. I had mine with a soppressata sandwich slathered with some spicy black olive tapenade, and it was great.

Le Coste di Monforte Barolo Nebbiolo

Very much enjoyed but something held it back from loving. I think it lacked a little richness to be really a top notch wine. That being said had a mild sweetness and bite and will definitely get again. — 5 years ago

La Bogliona Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2010

9.0

2010 has lots of acidities and lots of fruit still not fully merged with the structure, therefore it is still top heavy and slightly unbalanced. It still possesses the sense of authority, integrity and completeness all great wines have. — 6 years ago

Briccorosa Rouchet Monferrato Rosso Ruche 2014

A bright, fun + festive wine from one of Piemonte’s unicorn varieties, made in an unexpectedly elegant style. Smells like cinnamon + berries. Tastes like Nebbiolo on spring break. Drinks like silk. — 6 years ago

Selvarossa Dolcetto d'Acqui 2000

Palmer Emmitt
8.9

Hard to believe this is 19-yr old Dolcetto. Earthy stewy cherry with nice acids and soft soft mouthfeel. Shows its age in some ways but also feels strangely timeless - like a pretty older woman who’s never had any work done. — 6 years ago

Bric du Nota Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

Velvety from start to finish but not too heavy. I must have had a different vintage versus others below because I felt subtle acid made for a good mouthfeel - so soft on the palate it was a pleasure to drink. Recommended as a substitute for another Lange Nebbiolo and didn’t disappoint. — 10 months ago

Bricchi Castelrocchero Barbera d'Asti 2015

Dyp rød farge med fiolett skjær. Først lukket duft av alkohol og lær, åpner seg med kirsebær og fiken. Smak av det samme, samt litt krydder. Fin syre og balanserte tanniner. Ypperlig til lasagne! — 5 years ago
