2018 Cantina Giardino Fiano Irpinia Gaiamore |
5/8/2024 - Dylan_HW Likes this wine: 85 pointsSuch a fun orange. Big long taste that just keeps going. Not much on the nose. But massive flavour. Slight tongue coating that you get with orange, but mostly just big bold juicy. |

11/4/2023 - Saxman1984 wrote: NRDrank at Enoteca L’Antdoto in Trastevere, Rome. A charming natural wine bar, which made for a marvelous evening. An orange Greco Di Tufo, that just blew my mind. It was so aromatic, not at all what I expected. It had a heft to it, due to the skin contact. Recommended by the staff and appealing to me, as I have a connection to Campania, home of my grandparents. I just loved it. It is imported in the States by Louis Dressner, so I will be tracking it down in earnest. I also will be on a mission to try more wines by this producer. |

2020 Cantina Giardino The Sophia, Greco in Amphora Campania IGTmore |
9/22/2023 - rngreen96 Likes this wine: 92 pointsNotes of candied fruit, citrus and stone fruit. Minerality and salinity as well. Subtle oxidative funk. Medium body and medium-high acid. Has a lot of complexity showing the benefits of age but not straying into the realm of fortified wine. |

9/4/2023 - RPHC Likes this wine: 88 pointsIf this wine were a person: she would be a mildly delulu, aspiring model, currently known for posting thirst-trap photos and videos on whatever social-media app du jour. She just returned from this year's Burning Man mudpocalypse and hasn't showered in a week, but at least she cleaned up for dinner by rinsing off in the rain. She's still wearing a bikini, ski goggles, and knee-high fluffy boots... Visually, the wine is cloudy from fine sediment, but the bottle is loaded with chunks at the bottom, like a kombucha or like the bottom half of the woman's boots, caked with playa mud. The nose is showing: slightly funky, yeasty, bready, and mineral notes with a touch of body odor wrapped around a citrus core. The palate partially reflects the nose, but predominantly displays the fruit of that citrus core, with a hint of unsweetened peach. The refreshing mouthfeel is surprisingly crisp, there's ample acidity, and only the faintest hint of tannic structure. Big finish that extends with the yeasty, citrus, and unsweet peach notes. *Cantina Giardino was founded in 2003 by a group of friends focusing on making natural wines. They pull fruit for all their wines from about 7 hectares in the area, and own about 2.5 of those hectares. *Their Falanghina Fra wine is an orange, skin-contact wine from 100% Falanghina grapes with an average age of 30 years and aged in large, chestnut casks for 12 months. |

8/5/2023 - amflinn wrote: 80 pointsMy initial impressions on Night 1...not pleasant, with a strong sulfurous smell and taste that did not dissipate. Thin, green pepper vegetal, overly sour and acidic. I get that it's a natural wine, but it doesn't seem representative of my impression of what a good Aglianco can be. I'll give it another try tonight. At this point, not a re-buy for me. |

4/24/2023 - tward Likes this wine: 89 pointsScores never tell the story of a wine and wines like this are particularly hard to assign a number to. I purchased this on a whim, knowing next to nothing about it except that it regularly retails for $50+ USD, was on close-out for $30, and is a Campania Aglianico, which is a nice place to explore. 1 person found this helpful, do you?

NV Cantina Giardino Coda di Volpe Irpinia Il Mio Primo Fiascomore |
3/29/2023 - grapenomad wrote: 89 pointsBet you've never had a wine served from this. The Fiasco bottle has been associated with Chianti since the 13th century, but today is tied to a certain amount of controversy, especially in the US. Some have argued that the bottle is impractical and difficult to pour from (in a restaurant, probably), and that the straw covering can hide defects in the wine. Others have pointed out that the bottle is often used as a marketing gimmick, and that the quality of the wine inside the bottle is not always high (pretty much this). |

2/10/2023 - matt3taras Likes this wine: 90 pointsAfter an hour decant, it has a nose of stewed plums, candied cherries, black pepper, tar, and very light floral notes. It has large pepper, plum, and game notes with smaller notes of cigars and bacon. High tannins, high acidity, good legs, very dry, with a hue of burgundy moving to brick around the rim. |

I brought a leftover home, so tomorrow there will be an update, because I want to taste this wine again tomorrow to see if the wine is really that bad. (All tasters almost immediately emptied their glasses in the spittoon.) No score for today. |

12/30/2022 - goodvitis.com Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrank out magnum with friends, no formal notes. Modest skin contact influence, nicely appointed bright acid and flavors of grapefruit, melon, pear, and roasted almond. Very enjoyable, the magnum went down quickly amongst us four. Can probably hold on a new few years in this format. I imagine 750s are starting to show some negative effects of age. |

2020 Cantina Giardino Coda di Volpe Irpinia Volpe Rosamore |
7/25/2022 - grapenomad wrote: 87 pointsTasted blind. Hazy salmon in the glass. Very fruity on the nose with notes of cherry, raspberry, strawberry. The acid is quite high on this, while the alcohol remains moderate. I was steering towards Burgenland because this reminded me so much of Claus Preisinger and his Blaufränkisch/Zweigelt editions. Nice wine with food, but it needs to be decanted and served on a warmer temperature rather than bone-chilled. |
