Comments = with a retail price around 10 euros, this wine is a great occasion to taste the rare local grape (Refosco Dal Peduncolo Rosso) and discover its originality. Pay attention to the aromatics of this grape while keeping in mind that this wine has not been in contact with oak or any sort of wood. Given the price, the quality offered is top-notch.
Final Grade = B+
Comments = This is probably one of the best expression of the Chiroubles Cru that I have tasted so far. This wine offers an incredibly great value for money. Elegant and expressive nose and palate coupled with a long and complex finish. At this price, this is for me a hidden treasure of the Beaujolais.
Final Grade = A-
Comments = Powerful but elegant, this beautifully made Nebbiolo has still a lot of aging potential. It is a typical example of what a very good Barolo should be
Final Grade = A
Comments = One of the very best Chilean Carmenere I have tasted so far. Beautiful elegance and finesse of the fruits with silky tannins and texture coupled with a wonderful vanilla powder finish.
Final Grade = A-
Comments = I just loved this wine. I cannot recommend it enough especially at that price range. Tje aromatic is sharp and precise. The balance between acidity, aromas and tannins is perfect. It is elegant but still shows some power and length. For me, it is clearly an underrated Amarone. Finally, this Amarone is dry (which is how an Amarone is supposed to be, contrary what I find on the market most of the time) so it is suitable for diabetic people (not like all Amarone unfortunately).
Final Grade = A
Comments = Elegant and racy wine that will impress you with its perfect balance between acidity-tannins and aromas. It was just a pleasure to taste it. I cannot recommend this wine enough.
Final Grade = A+
Comments = Finesse and elegance for this rather fruity wine that offers a velvety tannic structure together with a medium acidity and a quite light body but a solid palate and finish
Final Grade = B+
Comments = Elegant and expressive, it has very fruity profile with a perfect balance. Very easy to drink and enjoyable.
Final Grade = B+
Comments = If you have the chance (it is a very tiny production) to get your hand on this beautiful and underrated wine, I cannot advice you to buy it. It is the kind of wine that I really like, a prime example of what Sardinian artisan craftsmanship can bring to the world of wine. It has a long and very complex finish.
Final Grade = A-
Comments = Power and precision, this wine offers a wonderful acidity that makes it very elegant. It has clearly raised the bar on what Puglia has to offer to the world of wine regarding the Primitivo grape. The finish is complex and long. I cannot recommend this wine enough.
Final Grade = A-
