2022 Pieropan - Soave DOC Classico Calvarino
The first single-vineyard created here, in the late 18th century. More black soil than in the Soave Classico. This is very good, meshing the inherent ripeness of the vintage with a mineral-infused pungency. Green apples, quince and stone fruit. Yet the fe...
2021 Pietracupa - Greco di Tufo DOCG (750ml)
The unoaked Pietracupa 2021 Greco shows more depth and texture compared to your standard expression of this beautifully nuanced grape (when made in the right hands). Greco has a lot of personality and is poised for a long, Riesling-like evolution if given...
2023 Quintodecimo - Greco di Tufo DOCG Jaune d'Arles (750ml)
Youthfully coy, the 2023 Giallo D'Arles opens with a delicately oral blend of young peaches, pears and hints of confectionary spice. This is silky-smooth yet lifted in feel, with a savory mix of white pit fruits and inner herbal tones that soothe the s...
2022 Quintodecimo - Fiano di Avellino DOCG Exultet
Vintner Luigi Moio's magic touch is evident in this challenging vintage that saw very hot conditions and forced stringent fruit selection. His Quintodecimo 2022 Fiano di Avellino Exultet (with 40,000 bottles released) is one of the best Campania white win...
2021 Quintodecimo - Irpinia DOC Aglianico Terra d'Eclano (750ml)
The 2021 Terra D'Eclano is remarkably expressive, with a vivid blend of wild strawberries, violets, lavender and hints of wet stone. It sweeps across the palate, wildly fresh and lifted with crisp wild berry fruits and perfumed inner florals. Tactile m...
2019 Radikon - Venezia Giulia Bianco IGT Oslavje Orange (500ml)
The 2019 Bianco O…… (Oslavje) is airy and oral with a lovely touch of fresh mint that gives way to young peach and white owers. This is distinctly savory on the palate, with a tart lemon rind tinge, giving way to young kiwi and mineral tones, more like...
2019 Radikon - Venezia Giulia Bianco Ribolla Gialla Orange (500ml)
2019 Radikon - Venezia Giulia Bianco IGT Jakot Bianco (Friulano) (500ml)
Decidedly spicey, the 2019 Bianco Jakot reminds me of my childhood days drinking lemon-tinged sun tea, along with a twist of ginger and wild herbs. This is soft textured and round with a purity seldom seen. Brisk acidity excites green apple and young p...
2019 Rainoldi - Valtellina Superiore DOCG Sassella
Fragrant with tar, dried tea rose and licorice, this firm, fresh red layers dried cherry and plum reduction notes with taut, well-knit tannins. Light- to medium-bodied, with a spiced finish. Drink now through 2027. 650 cases made, 200 cases imported.
