Schiopettino 2018

Muled back from the winery. Popped and poured, enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. No formal notes due to the setting. As far as I can recall, this is my first experience with the Schioppettino variety and wow, what an impression! The amount of rotundone could rival great Syrah from the Rhône. So much finely ground black pepper, fresh dark brambles and purple flowers. Yet, the body was lighter than Syrah and showed more Italian sensibilities. Fabulous with food. Drink now through 2033+. — 15 days ago

Ronco delle Mele Collio Sauvignon

Great wine even though it didn’t hold up to my memories of former vintages, maybe because it’s a rare wine in its class that’s both excellent but drinks better young. It shed its primary character and left behind some ginger, vegetal tomato leaf and a silky texture with a long finish, driven by very prominent phenolic bitterness. Drinks like an austere high-quality white Bordeaux without the oak, but I miss the vibrant fruitiness and stronger Italian quality I get in its youth  — 2 months ago

Ronco del Cerò Collio Sauvignon 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several days and consistent throughout. The 2022 Sauvignon pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing and bursting with electricity! Powerful notes of stone fruits, grapefruit, fresh sliced jalapeño, verbena, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acidity. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+, substantial and refreshing. Lovely with northern Italian soft rind cheese. Drink now. — a year ago
