Fresh and lively. Lemon, lime, some exotics on the nose. Jasmine? Some fennel. Palate with high acid, slight fresh almond. Delicious. 2022 vintage — 3 months ago

Satyricon Irpinia Campi Taurasini Aglianico 2021

An exceptional aglianico that was a perfect pairing with a tasting menu of Tuscan and Roman food. A little VA - but not in a distracting way! — 19 days ago

Tommasi

Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo Maremma Toscana Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2021

2021 vintage.
Sangiovese 60 % and Cabernet Sauvignon 40 % from Pitigliano estate in Maremma, Tuscany with a southwest exposure.
Owned by Tommasi family since 1997.
Rompicolla is ‘breakneck’ but means tremendously steep and slippery slope…a risky adventure.
Soils are deep in volcanic tuff.
Stainless steel ferment and matured 1 year in 65 HL Slavonian oak casks.
Red cherries, raspberries, savoury spice, and floral.
Medium bodied but fresh and clean on the finish.
This wine loves food ….and I appreciate that.

Contrade di Taurasi (Cantine Lonardo)

Taurasi Aglianico 2016

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2016 pours a deep purple color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with mostly dark fruit: black cherry, plum, purple flowers, animale and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Tasty stuff. Drink now through 2041. — a month ago

Taurasi Aglianico just doesn’t get the respect it deserves from the general wine loving public. But that’s okay, as long as they leave it, and also all the Aglianico del Vulture and Sagrantino di Montefalco, to those of us who love it, works for me…

Azienda Agricola Quintodecimo

Exultet Fiano di Avellino 2018

Pale lemon in colour. From Campania arguably the home of Fiano not forgetting it is also grown in Sicily. Restrained aromas of pear, honeysuckle and apple. Those descriptors coming through on the medium bodied palate finishing dry with stacks of salinity. Refreshing and moreish. — 3 months ago
