2019 La Spinetta (Rivetti) Il Nero di Casanova Toscana IGT

Sangiovese more

4/20/2024 - Correlman Likes this wine: 90 points

uncorked the Friday evening. Nothing special about itand a lot of acidity. Bit disappointed, and only drank half a bottle.
The evening after it, it was totally different.
Lots of fruit, and drinking very easy. So I will wait 2more years to open te next bottle of that year.

@The Cape Thompson in Cabo

Found this hard to find gem at Vinoteca, next to Fresko, at a 50 percent reduced price.

Pale lemon peel in color.
Lemon, lychee, oyster shell salinity off the nose.
Interesting taste profile. Very subtle. Similar to nose. Felt very thin to me, thus my points. Hint of evergreen needles. It's good, but seemed lacking. Would be interesting to try this again in 3-5 years.

I picked up a bunch of these from K&L and they have not disappointed, although, strangely enough, this is my first note for this wine.

On the nose, this is all smoke and leather with blueberry and fig. Later in the evening, some tomato leaf emerges.

On the palate, the immediate impression is one of richness and unctuousness. The wine presents smoke and leather, underpinned by blueberry, blue fruits, and fig, with plenty of acid for balance and freshness.

We enjoyed this wine with a ribeye, but it needs a bolognese/something with a bit more acid to balance.

A great wine and not tired at all at 28 years old.

Vibrant yellow in color
Honeysuckle, stone fruit nose. Some salinity.
Tastes like the nose. Very subtle taste profile. A little creamy. Hint of tomato vine. Nice wine which, is very hard to find.

Medium golden- amber, viscous @13% abv. Honeyed white fruits, orange rind, dried apple, starfruit, sweet spice. Dry, medium-medium(+) acidity, full body. Powerful with rich texture, unctuous and slightly astringent with bitter-sweet finish. Decant?
Interesting to see the aging development.

Heavy minerality and acidity. Refreshing and fruity. It could earn higher score if nude works be more open. Good QPR as I paid only CAD $21

Also a "base" Nebbiolo can be kept longer than the usual handful of years! Great Nebbiolo aging tastes!

Interesting herbal note on the nose with citrus peel. Tropical fruit on the palate with a hint of the same herbal note and some minerality. Medium plus acid, full body, and a medium fruity finish.

100% Sangiovese. Lively pronounced nose, if indeed it does smell like a Spinetta wine. Tastes really sharp on the palate. Really, really sharp acid

First time trying this varietal and I’m very impressed. Lots of mango, apple, light oak with medium acidity. If the finish was longer this is up there with some of the best Italian white wines I have had in a while. 92 points.

Dracks till firandet av att huslånet betalts av efter en flaska Pol Roger Winston Churchill. Mycket bra och frukten höll ännu och gav en balans åt tanninerna som dragit sig tillbaka.

Strawberries, roses, and dusty funk. Unmistakably Italian on the nose. Med+ tannin and acidity enhance the deceptively light looking body. Fantastic medium palate length.

Medium golden-straw, viscous. Rich floral nose - tropical fruits, melon.
Dry, medium acidity, medium alcohol @13% abv and medium (+/ body
Palate of lemon, tropical fruits, honey melon, mineral notes, almonds, white pepper. Rich mouthfeel, creamy with scintillating long, long finish (minutes).

Excellent dinner wine, a feast to enjoy on its own.
Great rendition of this once forgotten low-yielding Piemontese variety. Matured 8 months on its lees.
