“Nutty and floral on the nose and palate, where some lemony fruit also comes through. But this is essentially nutty and minerally.”

“A delicious, fresh and crisp prosecco with apple and lemon flavors, plenty of fizz and a hint of fresh cream in the aftertaste.”

“Complex nose of mixed citrus fruit, a melange of meadow flowers and some wet sandstone. Equally intriguing on the palate, where some almond and fresh cream savoriness overtakes the fruit to give a long finish. Then limey fruit reappears in the aftertaste. The well-poised bubbles give excellent support. Delicious and super-refined Prosecco. This is so much more than an aperitif. One of the best out there."

“Lightly spiced pears on the nose and palate. Dense fruit flavors with hints of nut cream and minerals. Plenty of fizz.”

“Exuberant with aromas of broth and tropical, herbal, and saline notes. Medium-bodied, with a lovely waxy viscosity, it reveals elements of saline and fresh pineapple, without feeling bloated or heavy. It has an Alpine sensibility, with a light bitter almond note on the finish as well as lime blossom and citrus. This fresh white would work over a broad spectrum of food pairings and could be a sommelier’s secret weapon.”

“Pale ruby with light garnet, the 2020 Barbaresco Bordini is elegant with the perfume of red raspberry, fresh orange peel, and fresh red flowers. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with super-fine, sweet, polished tannins, fresh strawberry, and a good finish.”

“This is fresh with notes of blackberry, violet, and black pepper followed by a pure, fresh, full-bodied red. With fine tannins, a silky texture, and a vertical lift on the finish, this pleasant wine casts a long net for appreciation and can pair across the table.”

“This has aromas of red fruits, cocoa, fresh earth, and ripe berries. It is medium-bodied and long on the palate, with sweet, refined tannin and notes of dried apricot and spiced blood orange.”

“Incredible aromatics of wild strawberry, anise, wild herbs, and roses emerge. Despite being more structured, it has a fresh, driven nature, with refreshing acidity and a clean mineral finish.”

“This is flush with the primary fruit of blackberry, violets, and dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied, with good concentration, crunchy red plum and raspberry, and sweet tannins, it delivers a pleasant lift on the finish.”

“A pale ruby, with notes of ripe wild strawberry, cinnamon, and white pepper. It is lifted, fresh, and medium-bodied, with fresh acidity and a good clean finish. Another fresh example to serve with salumi and as an aperitif, with a light chill, it is easy to drink and approachable.”

“This is beautiful with floral and spice perfume and offers a Burgundian aesthetic, with notes of apricot and wet stone. It is medium-bodied, highly refined, and pure, with complexity that continues to evolve in the glass, revealing notes of rhubarb, apricot, wild raspberry, and dusty earth. A beautiful and expressive wine with a lot of grace.”

“This is a very special wine, in that it moves from incense to red berries, rose petal, and licorice. It has a gripping structure, though, with sweet ripe tannins and evolving orchard fruit. Everyone will get something from this wine. It is a beautiful wine in this stage, and it is elegant and graceful.”

“This has a pretty bouquet that is woven tight with summer peach, pear and honey. This Grillo offers a slightly waxy or oily texture with subtle mineral tones and fresh acidity.”

“This was also tasted from barrel and takes on more intensity in its aromatics of guava, grapefruit, and wet stone. Medium-bodied, with some salinity, this is an accessible wine for those who would like an introduction into the white wines of the Gaja estate. It has a linear feel, with rounded fruit on the mid-palate and a fresh spine of acidity.”

“This always offers a slightly more accessible and versatile personality that makes it easier to pair with your favorite meat-based dishes. This wine shows us how much depth and complexity can also be achieved with this combination of local varieties. The wine is intense and especially concentrated thanks to ripe fruit and careful oak aging. You feel the force of Sagrantino's tannic imprint, but that power is well managed and contained. With dark and chewy fruit, this is a wine you sink your teeth into.”

“A slightly more rounded feel can be found here, with more yellow fruit and chamomile followed by notes of wet stone, fresh orchard peaches, and apricot. It also reveals a light flinty note aromatically, with a hint of baking spice on the finish.”

“This reveals warm-vintage definition with soft and round sensations in the mouth. Aged only in cement and bottle, the wine shows a strong focus on primary fruit with plump cherry, blackberry and potting soil.”

“This is a dark and penetrating expression with sweet cherry and blackberry contrasted against tobacco, smoke and baking spice. It delivers nice softness and textural weight.”

“Spicy and pure, it is full of red berries with Asian spice and white pepper. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with elegance and refinement throughout, approachable and fine tannins, no harsh edges, and a long-lasting floral finish. This seem to be a vintage that will drink well early but have plenty of longevity as well.”
