Giorgia's woofer was also in attendance...the puppy was almost as circumspect as some of the wines but came around eventually...arguably like some of the wines as well

2020 Vini Rabasco Rosso Cancelli
Italy, Abruzzi, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Earth, leather, black hued fruits, chalky minerality, graphite, a little brett, slightly funky volatiles nots. In the mouth it's juicy with tiny volatile nots, tight skin contact tannins are drying but pleasing and mouth filly, flavours and structure are quite fruit tea; cranberry, fresh blackberry, a little sour notes. Hmm

2020 L'Arco Rosso Veronese IGT
Italy, Veneto, Veronese IGT
medium minus intensity aromas of cherry, amaro bitter, a little dry maraschino, sweet spices, tiny touch of wood glue. In the mouth it's juicy with sweet cherry fruit, plentiful tannic grip which sucks at the mid palate, fruit persist and proves surprisingly rich and generous with a little coffee cream note, Nice in a bold way

NV Cappellano Barolo Chinato
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo Chinato
Amaro herbs, black, hued fruits, a little caramel and chocolate. In the mouth its sweet with plenty of tannins that prove raspy, quite amaro here as well. One of the few of these styles of wines that is on the up side for me though I wouldn’t' seek it out.
