Red Blend from Valli Ossolane, Alto Piemonte
Neb with a splash of Croatina from the FAR NORTH Divine perfume, beautifully weighted and poised. Exceptional balance and freshness, with a core of red and dark fruit that runs long with excellent mid-palate weight. Earth, savoury, incredibly layered.Delicious wine. Loads going on here. Amazing harmony and sophistication. Showing beautifully straight out of the gate with the help of a % of the generous, plush Croatina. Fun drinking!
Red Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto
Roccolo Grassi make some of the most enjoyable Valpolicella Superiores I've consumed. They are always balanced, fresh and dry. The development, layering and epic complexity are impressive.The 2017 Valpolicella Superiore by Roccolo Grassi is a sleeping giant. It slowly awakens in the glass with a dark mix of herbal-tinged plums, cracked ashen stone, incense and dried flowers. This is silky verging on velvety, with a core of stimulating acidity that helps to enliven depths of ripe minera
Red Blend from Bramaterra, Alto Piemonte
The Alto is sharing its gems with us! Antoniotti's Bramaterra is a stunner. A blend of 70% Nebbiolo, 20% Croatina, 7% Vespolina & 3 % Bonarda, it just keeps giving, sniff after sniff offering up something new and special, layered, earthy, savoury, a little pine resin, spice, blue fruits and more. A richness of fruit, that I suspect is fortified by the Coratina and Vespolica, yet freshness rests beautifully in a cradle of suitably edgy Neb tannin that has you salivating for more!If this
Red Blend from Valli Ossolane, Alto Piemonte
Neb from the FAR NORTH ... Stylistically think the more ethereal communes of Valtellina! Brooding and darker than the Ca d’Mate with a build in structure. A little Austere, yet you can see there is much to come with time in bottle. Openning in the glass to reveal woody herbs, fresh sour cherry and complexities beyond.Such a different balance point to Barolo & Barbaresco. 13.5% sees vibrant fruit with layered dusty ripe tannins, whereas Barolo and Barbaresco need 14.5% for the same.

Quintarelli masters blending local, non-local Italian & French varietals. Where most make clunky, awkward wines lacking harmony with this approach, Quintarelli achieves flow, complexity and deftly balances fruit flavours and florals with earthy, woody herb notes. (Read Patrick Suskinds "Perfume" and the importance of this will make sense). Over the last few releases we've seen a continual evolution with a little more freshness and tension across the range.The 2019s simply have more power
The 2018 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Cal del Merlo wafts up with an incredibly pretty, savory bouquet of dried Mediterranean herbs, geranium and citrus-tinged wild strawberries. It displays depths of ripe red and blue fruits underscored by crisp mineral tones as rosy inner florals arch across the palate, all over a core of tantalizing acidity. The finish is floral and long, leaving a tart sensation of raspberry as hints of lavender fade slowly. This is a supremely elegant and refined vinta
The Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ca’ del Merlot is distinctly savory in the glass, with a thrust of wild herbs that evolves into fresh picked strawberries and wet stone. This is a model of purity and balance, with brilliant acidity that propels its crisp wild berry fruits as violet inner florals collect toward the close. Further elevated by a hint of confectionary spice, it tapers off remarkably fresh and vivid, with a blueberry tinge and dusty tannins that promise a lovely evolution. This
Red Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto
Four years after release, Quintarelli's Ca del Merlo is sitting in a beautiful space. A wine that sits so comfortably in its own skin. Once again a demonstration from Quintarelli of their masterful skill in eliciting the best from an array of local and foreign varieties. Power with transparency and delicacy, complex sweet fruits and florals with earthiness, dry woody herbs, pops of spice. Super fine long tannins, that have relaxed, yet remain finely balanced with refreshing delicate acid. Mad Vi
Red Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto
“The 2016 Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta is intense, with a captivating bouquet that blends cedar shavings, savory herbs and balsamic spices with rum-soaked cherries, sweet lavender and dark chocolate. This sweeps across the palate with silken textures, delivering masses of tart red and black fruits along with hints of espresso bean. Crunchy mineral tones and zesty acidity add dramatic lift. The 2016 tapers off long and staining, sporting a pleasantly bitter tinge of cocoa as grippy ta
Red Blend from Valpolicella, Veneto
“The 2016 Amarone della Valpolicella is a sleeping giant, darkly alluring with dried violets, dusty black currants, shaved cedar and lifting hints of mint. This is sleek and cool-toned in feel—lifted yet intense and savoury to the core, with masses of mineral-tinged dark red fruits and balsamic tones carried across a core of zesty acidity… This is just a baby today and in need of serious cellaring, yet the potential is off the charts.
