Amphora

Unti Vineyard Syrah 1999

Dry Creek Syrah, so still predictably pretty ripe and rich (14.5% ABV), fruit still shows a lot of primary redfruits, berry/cherry, not as tannic as in its youth, some leathery notes (low-level Brett, I’d guess) emerge with aeration, long, lingering kick-ass finish, Rick made some pretty amazing wines under this label starting in 1998. (125 cases made, purchased on release.) — a month ago

Leonetti Cellar

Serra Pedace Vineyard Aglianico 2018

Opened and decanted 2.5 hours in advance of our inaugural Aglianco Osso Buco wine dinner here at the Gotham

Facing off against a range of Aglianco from Unti in Sonoma and Galardi in Campania

The Leonetti was the youngest of the 4 bottles yet had the most alluring combination of fruit and density. Definitely a crowd pleaser. Easy to drink with or without the food.

Bianco del Campo 2021

A brilliant CalItal (yes, I said it) blend of Vermentino, Falanghina, Biancolella and Fiano from one of the kings of CalItal (Unti).

Fragrant (lemon ice, lemon verbena) and oh so refreshing (yellow flowers, fresh white melon). Delivers way more elegance and length than you’d expect from a simple porch wine.

Fattoria Galardi

Terra di Lavoro Campania Red Blend 2007

Opened and decanted 2.5 hours in advance of our inaugural Aglianco Osso Buco wine dinner here at the Gotham

Facing off against a range of Aglianco from Unti in Sonoma Leonetti in WA and Galardi 2010 in Campania

The 2007 Galardi came across with olives, gaminess and herbs in the nose but once tasted showed a certain finesse and smoothness that was great. This was right up there as the savory wine of the night.

the Unti comes across with the brightest red fruit flavors of the wines and has a softness to the tannins that make this wine a little lighter than expected.

Fascinating that at the take end of the meal - 5 hours from opening - this wine really popped with fruit and more body than paired with the polenta and sauce.

Lovely wine and different expression of the grape here.

Fattoria Galardi

Terra di Lavoro Roccamonfina Aglianico Piedirosso 2010

Opened and decanted 2.5 hours in advance of our inaugural Aglianco Osso Buco wine dinner here at the Gotham

Facing off against a range of Aglianco from Unti in Sonoma, Leonetti in WA and Galardi 2007 in Campania

The 2010 Galardi was the most dense and as with the 2007, the fruit was minimal. Instead the flavor profile is herbs, green olives and incredible savory notes. It worked incredibly well with the osso buco and needed the richness to shine. This wine still had a bit of hard edges and could use more bottle age IMO
