Poderi Einaudi Dogliani DOCG 2015 Wine Advocate 31/08/2018 90
Verbiage

“It’s impossible not to love this fruity, soft and succulent wine. The 2015 Dogliani is an exuberant and lively Dolcetto that opens to a dark and inky appearance. Black currant, dried blueberry, sweet chocolate and tobacco all play supporting roles. This easy-drinking grape just loves a warm vintage (like 2015).” – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Aug. 31, 2018

Poderi Einaudi Dogliani Superiore Vigna Tecc DOCG 2015 Wine Advocate 31/08/2018 90
Verbiage

“The 2015 Dogliani Superiore Vigna Tecc is true to the variety in terms of its darkness and its succulent intensity. On the other hand, it offers a level of elegance and austerity that you would not immediately associate with this native grape of Piedmont. There are dark layers of crème de cassis, crushed mineral, black olive and cured tobacco. This is an inspirational interpretation of a grape that is normally related to a no-fuss, easy-drinking corner of wine styles. But you get more than that here.” – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Aug. 31, 2018

Poderi Einaudi Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2016 Wine Spectator 31/08/2018 90
Verbiage

“Forthcoming and rich, sporting cherry, earth and light underbrush flavors. Firm tannins and lively acidity lend a guiding hand as this unfolds on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2024. 1,600 cases made.” –BS, Wine Spectator, Aug. 31, 2018

Poderi Einaudi Rosso delle Langhe Luigi Einaudi 2013 Wine Advocate 31/08/2018 93
Verbiage

“The 2013 Langhe Luigi Einaudi is an intriguing blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo, Merlot and Barbera. Grapes come from the Einaudi estates in Barolo and in Dogliani. There is a lot of meat on these bones. This is a hearty and darkly saturated red blend that offers an elegant bouquet followed by firm tannins and lavish textural richness. The bouquet is specifically focused on blackberry and savory spice. There is depth, structure and complexity here.” – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Aug. 31, 2018

Private: Boscarelli Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Il Nocio DOCG 2015 Wine Spectator 22/08/2018 95
Verbiage

“Pure and refined, this red boasts cherry, strawberry, floral and mineral aromas and flavors. Sleek and balanced, this stays focused and long on the terrific aftertaste. Very fresh and vibrant. Best from 2020 through 2033.” -B.S., Wine Spectator, Aug. 22, 2018

Pietradolce Archineri Etna Bianco DOC 2017 Wine Enthusiast 01/08/2018 92
Verbiage

“Aromas of Mediterranean brush, yellow apple, crushed rock and juicy citrus flow over to the bright savory palate along with pear and savory mineral notes. Bright acidity imparts a refreshing finish.” – Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Aug. 1, 2018

Private: Conterno Fantino Private: Barolo Ginestra “Vigna Sori Ginestra” DOCG 2014 Wine Spectator 18/07/2018 94
Verbiage

“Enticing flavors of sweet cherry and strawberry are accented by leather, licorice and tar details in this solidly built yet supple red. Notes of wild herb, menthol, mineral and underbrush add interest as this plays out on the finish. Best from 2022” – BS, WIne Spectator, Oct. 15, 2018

Carpineta Fontalpino Do ut Des IGT 2016 James Suckling 10/07/2018 95
Verbiage

The fruit here really takes your breath away with its intensity, as well as purity. Blackberry crumble, pressed violets, ink, iodine, charcoal, vanilla and resin. It’s the polish of the tannins that really makes this wine, carrying itself effortlessly over a shimmer of electric acidity to the long finish. Drink in 2023. Made from organically grown grapes.

Bucci Rosso Piceno Superiore Pongelli DOC 2013 Wine Enthusiast 01/07/2018 92
Verbiage

“Black cherry, vanilla and balsamic herb aromas take center stage in this supple blend of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese. The savory palate shows black cherry, ripe blackberry and black pepper notes balanced by freshness and polished tannins.” –Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Jul. 1, 2018

Bucci Verdicchio Classico Riserva Villa Bucci DOC 2015 Wine Enthusiast 01/07/2018 93
Verbiage

“Delicate spring flower and yellow stone fruit scents gently lead the way in this savory, structured white. The generous, balanced palate is more expressive, offering ripe peach, apricot, yellow apple, dried herb and bitter almond flavors alongside tangy acidity. Energizing mineral and ginger notes brighten the finish.” –Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Jul. 1, 2018
