2019 Aimone Giobatta Vio Pigato Riviera Ligure di Ponente Ma René

6/14/2023 - JohnRachelWine Does not like this wine: 80 points

Color: medium gold
Nose: light lemon and citrus, light mineral
Palate: mild yellow apple start, hard right to tar, cement, gray flavors
Mouthfeel: soft, watery beginning but huge dry, bitter, stemmy finish

There is too much imbalance on this wine, or maybe lack of character. Fruit is lost in a bitter, dry cement-like profile.

In a good state and ready to drink after a bit of air. Bought at the estate. Interesting balance between oak and fruit. The best oaky vermentino/pigato I have tried. For food. OK together with the salmon made in the oven

Un nez parfumé, en bouche le vin est assez équilibré, j'aurais aimé un peu plus de pep's, d'acidité, de parfums mais c'est pas mal.
13/20

Normally not so fond of vermentino aged in Oak but the balance was kept and the added complexity will suit grilled fish. Drink now or the next 3 years. We visited the winefarm last and they a wonderful small azienda Agricola were you stay.

A full, fruity and with a touch of wood. Different than a typical Pigato. But a nice and food friendly wine with a good balance. Not a wine for the terrace in the sun.

Pigato, Vermentino more

9/2/2021 - Paul852 Likes this wine: 89 points

On first opening this was overpoweringly oaky. But it sorts itself out with maybe 15 minutes air.

The nose is very rich, spices, nuts, like an amontillado sherry, but with complexity of fruits, herbs; also a touch hot.

All of the above follow to the palate, which has a fairly rich mouthfeel, but not as full as the nose might suggest once it has had a little air. There is light acidity to keep everything balanced, and a long lingering sherry-like finish.

As the producer's notes suggest, this is a "contemplative wine" - suitable for sipping as a digestive, or perhaps with some cheese or cold cuts, much like a sherry.

All in all it's a rather interesting expression of Pigato (as Vermentino is known in this region), and OK QPR at ~US$28.

Don’t know if this was flawed or just not any good. Seriously lack of acidity, over ripe pear, banana and generally disjointed. Had this at a restaurant in Liguria earlier this year, and liked it at that time.

Tasty great price red from Aldi.

Light bodied with piles of red berry fruits, light acidity and almost no tannins.

Hint of buttery vanilla.

Overall a very tasty wine at a very low price.
Vivino rates this in the top 2% of world wines so worth a try.

On the dry side, quite light, cherries, somewhat umami, soft, hint of spices. Quite uncommon varietal (rossese), is probably enjoyed best young.

Bright, light colored white wine with attractive citrus notes.
It does provide a very nice balance to the Mediterranean seafood, but does not have the intensity or complexity of the Cinque terra...

Cherry ruby red.
Very complex and nice at nose, with chewy red fruits, dried roses and myrtle. Changing every minute.
Dry, smooth, well balanced, very fruity. Educated tannins, a bit drying to the end.

Yellow fruit, summer hay, honey, citrus, herbs as well as some slight peach and apricot on the nose. The light to medium-bodied palate adds some salty, stony character and medium acidity. Medium to long finish, tapering towards salty acidity. Very well in balance, with no single element sticking out noticeably. Elegant, fresh, nuanced and excellent with food.

Yum, peppery. I like that part. Was a reasonable - if not the best - match with our pull-something-from-the-freezer spaghetti and meatballs dinner. Just really pleasant on it's own, though. Simple but effective.

Update: was even better on Day 2, with several more hours of air.

Just like the invino review says: light to medium bodied, low tannins, very pinot-like, except there's also a spicy, peppery component giving it some zest. Goes down like a simple quaffer, but offers a lot more. Good stuff.

Needs to warm up and open up. Initially nothing but grapefruit pith. Later some red apple, pear, hay, herbal notes. Medium body, medium+ acidity, medium+ finish. Some tartrate crystals in the glass. Refreshing drink as an aperitif.
