Costa del Vento Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2021

Gold hue. Aromas and flavors of apple, apricot, bell pepper, lemon, and petrol, with a hint of grass and creamy notes. Medium body with medium-plus acidity. Silky and rounded mouthfeel. Complex bouquet. Elegant and balanced, with a lasting finish. — 2 months ago

Granato Teroldego 2010

Oh…how I adore Elisabetta’s wines and getting to drink Granato with some age is a huge treat! Popped and poured; enjoyed over a two hour time period and it evolved very nicely in that time. The 2010 Granato pours a deep ruby with near opaque core. Medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, fresh sage, mild funk, granite rock and a soft expression of warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with good structure still. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and there is a drying sensation of almost licking a rock. As mentioned earlier, this opened up beautifully after about 30min and continued to shine. Admittedly, I don’t have a lot of data points on decade+ Teroldego so it’s hard to say for sure how long this could last however, when I consider that this is still developing and doesn’t show much in terms of secondary characteristics, I would say this still has a long life ahead. Drink now with a short decant or through 2030; possibly longer. — 5 months ago

Fantastic primitivo to be a companion for lunch every day. Not too strong as other primitivo exemplars, just just right 👌 — 4 months ago

Derthona Colli Tortonesi Timorasso 2022

Solid white, not a tad but I’d dryness to it on the finish, but initially very full and fruity. “Orchardy” is how our server described it and for some reason that hit. A touch of sweetness that I enjoyed, but not overly so. — 6 months ago

Fuoripista Vigneti delle Dolomiti Pinot Grigio 2018

Amphora, skin contact Pinot Grigio from Foradori. What’s not to like. This is amped up Pinot Grigio, savory, a little tannic and delicious. — 2 months ago

Tenuta San Leonardo

Terre di San Leonardo Vigneti delle Dolomiti Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2018

Dark ruby color. Peppery smell. Floral, ripe red fruit. Nice acidity, but mostly silky smooth and juicy. Very drinkable by itself, and a flavor profile that I very much enjoy. Purchased from Vons. — 4 months ago

Dolomiti Schiava 2022

It’s alive! Slightly prickling on the tongue. Rife with chillable ways: low gentle tannins, zippy acid, fresh red fruits… a total natty skewing dreamboat. It could wear a manbun and get away with it. — 6 months ago
