Jodi loved it. De Nardi. — 2 years ago
2011 vintage. Estate with 46 hectares of vineyards owned by Silvio Denz (also Faugères, Péby-Faugères and Roycheron in Saint-Emilion , and Lafayrie-Peyraguey in Sauternes). Sometimes criticised for the modern style, the truth is in the glass. And this Cap de Faugères from a difficult vintage absolutely delivers for the price (9,90 euro). Deep red colour with only a slight evolution at the rim. The nose is a bit jammy, but the mouth is much better with the ripe fruit balanced by the acidity and well-tamed tannin. It may be not the most subtle wine, but it's a very attractive right bank Bordeaux at its peak and a strong effort for the vintage. — 3 years ago
Delicious and different. Oxidative, rich. Not a beginner wine. — 6 years ago
2014: Light gold color, rich, lingering, smooth and balanced - very nice! — 7 years ago
Not Mussolini, Massolino! Also topical as we just elected our own version of Silvio Berlusconi. He was fun...right? Er....well, the wine was delicious. All you want from a Barolo, the tar & roses & subdued but somehow still poppin fruit, behind. En magnum (my bride and I required). — 8 years ago

Tar! Cherries! Acid! Beautiful earth! Typicity! A food wine for sure. Great length with years ahead. Very pretty. Brings back memories of tasting with Silvio, and his second-to-none hospitality 👍 — 5 years ago
What a pleasure- lush, silky, dark cherries bursting from the glass, forest spice, fairly substantial integrated tannins, well balanced with the acidity. And for under $20. #morandosilvio #barbera #monferrato — 6 years ago
Ok. Silvio is better. Tannens are sharp and flattening — 7 years ago
Ruby red with just slightly garnet hue. Dried rose petal, red/black cherry, blackberry black tea, licorice on the palate, cinnamon, clove, tobacco, dusty, complex with so many layers, med plus acidity, med plus tannin. — 8 years ago
Still really great acidity, and ripe fruit, the cork disintegrated upon trying to open, but was not dry. Surprisingly very very good. — 2 years ago

I really like this wine. Consistently good every year. Good weight, acidity. Had a slight bitterness on the end. Some people describe Vermentino as having a green almond aspect. I don’t know what green almond tastes like, but with this I get a taste like when you find a raspberry seed in your teeth and you bite it. — 4 years ago
Smooth, complex, delicious. Drank the 2016 vintage in Dec 2018. This was one of the wines from our Italian wine night at Piaza Di Nardi. — 5 years ago
Great red for oily Chinese food. — 7 years ago
Moderate ruby red core with amber rim. Sous bois notes dominate the nose with fruit character of raspberry and black cherry. On the palate, it's delicate and light bodied with medium acidity, little tannin, and only 13% alcohol. I have really enjoyed Silvio Jermann's white wines in the past but had not tried any of his reds until this very pleasing Italian expression of Pinot Noir (Pinot Nero). — 7 years ago
