2022 Cà dei Frati Rosa dei Frati

Riviera del Garda Classico Rosé Blend more

5/11/2024 - -Tim- Likes this wine: 87 points

Made from mostly Groppello, and some Marzemino, Sangiovese and Barbera grapes. 6 months on the lees, 2 more months maturation in the bottle.

Palate feels herbal-mineralic with light grapefruit and strawberry notes. Falstaff rated 90p.
I usually prefer rosé wines from Provence, so I might be biased.

Medium lemon colour; clean and shiny; excellent. nose: ripe apples, lemons, quince, pomelo - reach. slight mineral aromas (vit C); when opens some underripe peach and some mango aromas. very good. taste: high acidity - superbly integrated and balanced. Some limestone and ripe fruits (apples, apricot, peach) - this ripe fruits balance the acid. There is also some grapefruit bitterness. Fresh but with a good body and reach. Love it.

50 year old vines - 100% Turbiana (formerly known as Trebbiano di Lugano). This is energetic and refreshing, but very young. Better in a couple of years time so hold if you can.

Bright golden color. Fragrant aromas of ripe peaches, rose petals and fresh herbs. Grapefruit, peach, basil and dill fill a very generous palate. Very bright acidity and an extremely savory finish. Clean, tangy and crisp. Bright and energetic. Excellent freshness!

Very aromatic nose of grapefruit and some peach. Fairly rich and concentrated mouth. Loads of refreshing acidity on the mineral tinged savory finish. Excellent, refreshing, food friendly and a fantastic QPR.

P.S. Not getting any of the sweetness, at least not in the sense of residual sugar, that others seem to be noting.

Turbiana, Verdicchio more

2/8/2021 - rikipedia Likes this wine: 92 points

Terroir-istes International - Italy, Northern Whites (Overgaauw Wine Estate): (Tasted Blind): A mid-lemon colour, the nose has stone fruits, pink grapefruit, a touch of struck match, and a fair amount of toasty oak with a dash of sweet spices. Fairly bright and modern, the wine enters with rich texture, sweet fruit, and intenseness. It works nicely as the wine expands into a move citrus profile with lemon verbena, flint, Alpine flowers, fennel fronds and more grapefruit, with the oak influence providing structure and complexity. The back palate is all orange and has toasty notes, almost like a dry marmalade on toast. This medium-bodied wine shows purpose and drive and gives length to the persistent finish. Highly enjoyable!

Very pretty bright straw color. Lemons and fresh hay in the nose. Biggest surprise is the rich body, almost luscious. Off-dry, medium acid. Peach, pear, lemon all in the soft well balanced flavors. Impressive.

Dried apple, lemon and honeysuckle to nose. Citrus zestiness. Melons, pears, fruit essences with the citrus overtones. Probably was better a year ago but amazingly good still. Paired with salad with roast chicken.

Intensiv fruchtige Nase. Erinnert an Gaumen an Grünen Veltliner, allerdings mit mehr Frucht, mehr Säure und weniger Heu. Das Heu ist aber deutlich da. Für mich einen Touch zu sauer. Die Säure wird aber durch den Blauschimmelkäse sehr gut aufgefangen.
Am nächsten Tag noch etwas besser - er hat von der strengen Säure verloren, die Frucht passt schon zum Blauschimmelkäse mit Rosinen.

Well at just a smidge over $14 this really surprised to the upside. Characterful w/ mouthcoating loads of pulverized rocky minerality combined w/ somewhat tart citrus and stone fruits. My gut feeling is this will be more enjoyable on nights 2 & 3. A little nervy on night one but impressive none the less. I'll grab more of these soon. Blind, would guess Loire Sauvignon Blanc. A little bracing out of the gate. I'll decant the next btl. 89+

As I wrote earlier this year:

"I guess I like the combination of aromatic late harvest grapes (mid-October), 10 months maturation in oak barriques, and high minerality.
This results in a ceamy-fruity (peach) Lugana with vanilla (oak), minerals, and refreshing acidity (7.0 g/L vs 4.8 g/L RS)."

Excellent Lugana!

I'm not actually much of a white wine drinker, so you might want to ignore my note.
