Named after 'cappellaccio' or gossan, the hard layer about 30-40 cm down in tufaceous soils formed over the centuries by water erosion of limestone. Planting vineyards on such virgin soils required deep-ripping so that vine roots could penetrate it and reach water. Aged for 12 months in French oak. Deep red with ripe fruit aromas and subtle spice. Flavors of dark berry, leather and pepper. Lingering finish ending with a mineral character. — 8 years ago
Pleasant notes of grass; enough acidity to balance a pungent extra virgin olive oil — 9 years ago
Virgin at this blend. Served super chilled and what and amazing wine. Little bit of mineral on the nose. Good blend of fruit that is very easy to drink. — 7 years ago
Shiraz not pinotage but label not recognised. From Virgin Wines, this is great, full of flavour, very smooth. More woody and less fruity than would be perfect but that's nitpicking. — 8 years ago
A beautiful pink biological Pinot Grigio. Matches nicely w white meat sauce and thick pasta w extra virgin olive oil. — 9 years ago
Dusty, dirty, and delicious — 9 years ago
Organically grown and carrying Consell Catala de la Produccio Agraria Ecologica guarantees a clean Reserva that Convinces on the palate. Another good candidate for the ceremonial sacrifice of a handsome 5-year old virgin. The gods nod their heads up and down.

Smoky pear, yellow apples, fresh cut hay on a verdant farm the day after a rain. Lemon croissant with a brush of glazed sugar, lemon zest, chive, and satin petals of azalea outline the perfume. There is a freshness of clean, laundered, sun-dried whites. Medium mouthfeel with distinct white pepper, extra virgin oil, tart apple, lemon essences, peach skin, culminating in a silky dryness, full of tangerine and kumquat piths. Serve with substantive fare, and spiciness. It has the unction! #oltrepopavese #giorgi #CannetoPavese #bianco #Riesling #rieslingfix #italianwines #italianwhite #italianwhitewine — 8 years ago
