2019 Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Marina Cvetić Riservamore |
4/3/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 92 pointsRetail $35. Heavy Bottle (648g; 1lb 6.8oz). Under cork. 100% Montepulciano. I have now sampled numerous wines from this producer, and this is the last one in the line. While this is perhaps not my *favorite* in the line-up, it is still quite tasty and worthy of consideration. Fairly dark in the glass with plenty of dark fruit on the nose: blackberry, cassis, maybe some plum plus spice (cumin? cardamom?), dark earth, and an herbal aspect that enthralls (at least me). Fruity, rich, tart (even really tart) with more than an ounce of verve, and plenty of intrigue. Excellent. 92 Points. |

2020 Masciarelli Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Marina Cvetić Riservamore |
4/3/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 94 pointsRetail $58. Very Heavy Bottle (763g; 1lb 10.9oz). Under cork. 100% Trebbiano. I feel like this is a familiar refrain, but I do not have a ton of experience with the wines of (fill in the blank, in this case Abruzzo) but that is because I do not spend enough time with my friend Jeremy Parzen (at least when it comes to Italian wine). Straw to yellow color in the glass with a wheelbarrow-full of citrus on the nose; bright and cherry, inviting one to dive right in. And I did. Tart, bright, even linear (yeah, a real wine geek term, I know) on the palate with plenty of that citrus to spar with all that acidity. Again, not a region that I know well, but this is gangbusters. 94 Points. |

2022 Masciarelli Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Villa Gemmamore |
4/2/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 88 points2023 Villa Gemma Abruzzo Bianco. Retail $15. Heavy Bottle (655g; 1lb 7.1oz). 100% Trebbiano. Pale straw with a slightly muted nose but some citrus comes through with some salinity and white flower. The palate is pleasant with good fruit and ample acidity. I would love to wax poetically about this wine, but, frankly, it is not one for contemplation. It is to be consumed, preferably with others, around a dinner table, a Netflix selection, or a board game. And it will disappear quickly (it was Mrs. White in the Library with the Candlestick). 88. |

2018 Masciarelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva Villa Gemmamore |
4/2/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 93 pointsRetail $98. Very Heavy Bottle (767g; 1lb 11oz)). Under cork. 100% Montepulciano. I do not have much experience with this appellation and even less with the producer, but both will certainly have to change. Fairly dark in color with plenty of dark fruit (blackberry, cassis), spice (black pepper, cardamom, anise), and earth on the nose. The palate is initially all about that fruit, followed quickly by a shot of mocha, and then spice. The tartness is present and balanced, carrying through to the finish, which has plenty of tannins, indicating plenty of life ahead of it. Outstanding. 93 Points. |

2022 Masciarelli Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo Villa GemmaMontepulciano more |
4/2/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 94 pointsRetail $20. Heavy Bottle (653g; 1lb 7oz). 100% Montepulciano. Under cork. One of the few appellations in Italy dedicated only to the production of rosé, Cerasuolo is fairly rare in the U.S. as most of the wine is sold and consumed in Italy. And that is a shame, at least for Americans, as every Cerasuolo I have tried has been delicious, including this fantastic wine. One could make the argument, based solely on color, that the wines from the region are more of a "light red" than a "rosé" but throw a bit of a chill on the bottle and there is no more confusion. Bursting with rich and lively cherry and strawberry fruit and balanced with a lip-smacking tartness, this is a wonderful choice for the pool, for a bowl of carbonara, for a late-night movie with fresh popcorn, and everything in between. Lovely. |

2/16/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 88 pointsRetail $16. Responsible bottle (353g; 12.5oz). Under screw cap. 100% Montepulciano. Fairly dark for a rosé with plenty of rope berry fruit in the glass along with a dose of minerality and a touch of red rose petals. The palate is tart and lively with boatloads of fruit and hints of the minerality and florality that the nose promised. There is also a decided salinity here, paired with just a kiss of sweetness. Great on its own, but likely better with food. Taco Tuesday, anyone? |

2022 Masciarelli Trebbiano d'Abruzzomore |
2/15/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 87 pointsRetail $14. Responsible bottle (363g; 12.8oz). Under screw-cap. When I first started getting into wine, Italy produced a slew of inexpensive white wines that, frankly, were not very good. At all. A lot has changed since then and the relatively recent increase across the board, really, in Italian whites has been rather remarkable. Case in point. While this will likely not be anyone's "forever wine" it is a solid, quaffable effort. Straw, close to yellow in the glass with a slight green tint and aromas of pine nut, tree fruit (white peach), and with a salty, briny note. The palate is fairly tart, with that briny, seashell-kind of aspect quite present. The finish is also quite tart but on the short side. Solid. |

2/15/2024 - Ashdene Likes this wine: 92 pointsDark ruby, inky, hint of purple still. Deep bouquet of black cherry, spice, chocolate. Dry. Good acidity. Tannins mellowed but obvious still. Good level of fruit. Slightly dry, tannic finish. Needs another year, but drinking ok |

2/13/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 87 pointsRetail $15. Under screw-cap. Responsible bottle (440g; 15.5oz). Medium color in the glass with some fruit but also a decided and prevalent barnyard aspect. Normally, I am a fan, but this pushes the edge of the envelope. Tart, fruity, and fairly well balanced, this is a pleasant quaff, but not worthy of much introspection. Very Good. 87 Points. |
