Terra dei Celti Riserva Barbaresco Nebbiolo
A very smooth and subtle wine. A wonderful color, brown tint & burgundy like a ruby.
Nice body and a fabulous taste. I'm happy drinking this wine tonight. — 9 years ago
Terra Dei Re
Vultur Aglianico del Vulture 2003
Subdued nose of earth and leaves. Acidic balance that'd goes well with food. Short finish. Might be just over the hill. Better next day. Suppose needed time for it to open up. Nose floral and with earthiness. Good balance and be good with food. Good medium finish. — 10 years ago

Azienda Agricola La Distesa
Gli Eremi Classico Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Verdicchio 2012
Another crazy nose from La Distesa. Funky but pleasant. Almost waxey and tropical aromas. But restrained. Really cool. Nutty as well. Dank nose. Luscious palate with great mouthfeel and texture. Really juicy and dense. A lot of intensity on the palate and nice elegant dissipating finish. This is a big step up from the Terra Silvate. Very mouthwatering and very mineral. Barely if any fruit. Which is always a plus for me. — 10 years ago

Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi 2015
Bright fruit, mineral, and salt. Big summer quaffer for cold salad, seafood (raw?) and appetizers. Drinks way above its weight (re: cost), if you're into floral, fruit. — 9 years ago

Podere Rocche dei Manzoni
Dolcetto d'Alba Dolcetto
A lovely wine to sip and doesn't need food as accompaniment. A definite re-purchase. Had with Ron as he gave me a tour of his art studio. Only lightly tannic with some Jammu fruit and spice on the finish. Wonderful! — 11 years ago
Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga
Fontalloro Toscana Sangiovese 2007
FONTALLORO 2007 – ROSSO IGT – FELSINA: (100% Sangiovese – 20 mesi in barrique). Si presenta limpido di un colore rosso rubino tendente al granato, carico e consistente. Al naso è intenso, ampio nella complessità dei suoi sentori e con una fattura straordinaria degli aromi. Si riconosce un elegante fruttato di ciliegia, more e ribes, poi humus e note di terra bagnata che ricordano i funghi champignon, sentori speziati di chiodi di garofano, note tostate di tabacco e caffè, qualche lieve sentore di vaniglia ed infine liquirizia. In bocca dimostra di essere ancora giovane nelle sue parti dure e si rivela con una elevata freschezza, una grande sapidità ed un tannino evidente ma elegante e setoso. Intenso, fine e di lunga persistenza si ritrovano in bocca il fruttato e le spezie sentite al naso. Aspetterei ancora qualche anno prima di poterlo apprezzare al meglio nella sua eccellenza. Ad oggi 90\100. — 13 years ago

Albino Armani – “Colle Ara” Pinot Grigio, 2023
Terra dei Forti DOC – Valdadige – Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
A skin-contact Pinot Grigio from Valdadige, crafted with short maceration to extract color, texture, and phenolic grip. The 2023 vintage brings a fresh, lifted profile, balancing structure with vibrancy, far from the neutral, conventional style.
Aromas & Flavors
Layered and expressive: dried orchard fruit, orange peel, subtle spice, and tea-like notes. Savory nuances with a light herbal edge.
Mouthfeel
Textural and structured with gentle phenolic grip (almost tannin-like). Dry, with notable sapidity and salinity, supported by 2023’s bright acidity. Clean, persistent finish without astringency.
Food Pairings
Ideal with Asian fusion, noodles, grilled seafood, and umami-driven dishes. Also excellent with roasted vegetables or lightly spiced cuisine.
Verdict
A smart, expressive Pinot Grigio that bridges classic Italian precision and orange wine philosophy. The 2023 vintage adds extra lift, making it both intriguing and highly drinkable. A perfect “surprise bottle.”
🍷 Did You Know?
Pinot Grigio has naturally pink/grey skins, which—when macerated, create that copper hue and subtle structure most modern styles avoid. — 2 months ago
