Good quality Nebbiolo from a super producer. Light ruby in color, translucent around the edge. Medium+ Intensity & length. Medium(+) acidity. Need some air to get the right balance. Food wine - great match for today’s meal: Mixed Grill w/lamb & beef.
Smooth & lovely Zinfandel-blend. Dark purple, medium+ intensity and length. Todays pairing: Burger with smokey BBQ sauce.
Black fruit (blackcurrant), oak, pepper. A bit high ABV: 14.6%, RS: < 3 g/l, TA: 6.1 g/l. Blend: 73% Zinfandel, 16% Petite Sirah, 9% Carigane, 2 % Mataro

Rich in flavors, good intensity, medium+ acidity. Elegant and “colder” than expected in terms of style. Today’s pairing: Reverse seared Entrecôte w/pepper-sauce
Bought this bottle on a trip to Tuscany back in 2019. Small organic producer in Montalcino where we had lunch and walked through the production line. Great hospitality
