Tasting Note: Ermacora, Pignolo, 2020

Comments = A surprisingly powerful red wine that offers a good balance tannins-aromas with a long complex finish with spicy notes. This wine is really a great occasion to discover a well-made Pignolo wine coming from its region of origin (at a reasonable price given the quality offered.

Final Grade = B+

Tasting Note: Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Obiz, 2020

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+

Tasting Note: Amarone della Valpolicella, Brigaldara Classico, 2016

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
