2015 Barberani Lago di Corbara Polvento Villa Monticelli

Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more

5/8/2024 - Alfisto Likes this wine: 95 points

This is a big wine but in some way maintains elegance: dark color gives nose of leather, spice, some cedar, cherry and black pepper. Mouthfeel is full but with balanced acidity. Long finish. This has many years to go to be sure. Incredible wine and truly a find. Will look to get the 2019 vintage soon and compare.

Almost pale green, crisp and refreshing, lingering savoury aftertaste, ends with greengage. Delicious, copes with food, good value.

Only faintly aromatic, with hints of almond skin and preserved lemon peel. Light bodied, and that gentle musk of the 5% botrytised gives it a pleasantly savoury finish. Not an intense wine, but a well put together one.

2019 Barberani Lago di Corbara Polvento Villa Monticelli

2/11/2024 - Iam Redwood wrote: NR

The 2019 Polvento is nearly impossible to pull away from, as a bouquet of cinnamon-dusted black cherries, cedar spice box and dark, dark chocolate keeps me at the edge of the glass. It’s seamlessly silky and elegant throughout, washing polished ripe red berries across the palate with ease while leaving a staining of minerals and fine-grain tannins in their wake. Hints of mocha mix with a twang of sour citrus and wild herbs, as this finishes classically structured and incredibly long. The 2019 is a glorious vintage for Polvento, a varietal Sangiovese from Umbria that can easily compete across all of central Italy.

POLVENTO BARBERANI è un vino di grande intensità, eleganza ed un’estrema longevità. Affina 24 mesi in barriques e poi in bottiglia.

Rosso rubino intenso, presenta profumi penetranti, persistenti ed allo stesso tempo è elegante e fruttato. All’assaggio è vellutato, avvolgente, di grande corpo e rotondità.

È ideale l’abbinamento con le carni rosse alla griglia ed allo spiedo, con cacciagione e selvaggina. Ottimo con formaggi duri e stagionati

L’agricoltura di Barberani è di ispirazione biodinamica. Non usa erbicidi o pesticidi. Le fertilizzazioni sono condotte con preparati biodinamici, interramento dei tralci e sovescio di erbe e leguminose. Certificato Biologico e Vegan.

2012 Barberani Orvieto Classico Superiore Luigi e Giovanna

Trebbiano Blend, Trebbiano more

5/6/2018 - Mossrose wrote: 93 points

A blend of 90% Grechetto with 10% Trebiano with this twist - botrytis is encouraged in the Grechetto as a flavor intensifier, usually about 5 to 10 percent of the grapes, which is fermented dry rather than making a dessert wine. The color is a light yellow with a faint pink tinge. The just opened wine started out somewhat bland with a light acidity. But each day opened added texture, fruit, and richness, making the final 3 inches of the wine divinely delicious, caressing, and long. Overall, a wine for the patient drinker, best aged for over 6 years or opened days before being consumed.

Bright yellow with a taste of apricot and apple. Long. More enjoyable on day 3 so may benefit from more time in bottle!

Pale gold, muted nose, medium weight, balanced acidity, very enjoyable savoury almost biscuity element. Lingers well. Copes well with food. Unusual. Improves in the glass.

Deep yellow colour. This took time to open up. Nose of banana, almond and apricot some sage leaf notes. The palate is dry but rich with banana, almond, pineapple and apricot flavours and it’s got length too. A quality wine but not my style.

It’s not a typical grechetto wine, it has more body and intensity. Very ripe, perhaps too much. Honey, stone fruit, some tropical and floral notes. The fuller style is achieved through the inclusion of grapes affected by noble rot (5 to 10 percent of the blend).

4/20/2023 - Steve Greenhouse Does not like this wine: NR

Vinello che unisce un naso banalotto a una bocca molle con l'acidità che se ne va per i fatti suoi. Probabilmente sono io che ho poco feeling con il produttore (anche il Superiore Luigi e Giovanna non mi ha per nulla emozionato); mi sembra anche poco centrato come prezzo.

2/20/2023 - Joshvoulters Likes this wine: 90 points

There's a lightness of touch and delicacy which makes this an appealing dessert wine- but it may lack either the aromatic fireworks or intensity to stand up to the kind of dishes it'll be asked to pair with. Maybe better with cantuccini or just on its own? Golden fresh apples, toffee apple, candied citrus peel, crystallised ginger. Medium bodied on the palate, flows - not in any way cloying even though the acidity isn't through the roof. Delicate on the finish.

Light golden colour, honeyed nose. This had some viscosity, vestigial white stone fruit and plenty of rich, creamy body on the spine of acidity. Feels weighty. As an exercise in aging Orvieto I’d say this is just about worth the time and restraint. Not an aperitif wine but goes well with salad nicoise.

Pale gold. Muted nose and a rich palate of pear, spricot and peach. Very rich, demands equally rich food, chicken in a cream sauce?

Wanted to like this but it left me cold- hints at an expressive wine and maybe it’ll come with age but I found it quite flat and imprecise. Nice ripe, almost tropical, flavour profile without being overblown, some acidity but there’s not much of interest here- tasty and pleasant but you don’t need to spend this money to get tasty and pleasant

Clear and precise: quince, vanilla, peach, tangerine and orange zest. Medium body, fully mouth-coatingly sweet with energetic acidity. Some spice on the finish. Lovely wine and a big hit at lunch

Purchased in the village of Orvieto. Bright medium yellow in the glass. Mild nosecof white flowers, lemon balm, and saline. Light-to-medium bodied, medium acidity, palate of saline and lemon-lime, but all in a muted way. This is a food wine, rather than a porch sipper. I wish it had a bit more flavor and acid. Very pretty label, at least. Drink now through 2023.

Served at The Wine Society's Italian dinner, Stevenage, UK. Served to accompany apricot crostata.

I struggle with sweet wines, so my comments and score are not necessarily reflective of how others will find it.

Light amber colour, nose and palate show apricots and honey. It is not overly sweet, certainly not as much as, say, a Sauternes. It went well with the apricot crostata.
