2010 Castello Monaci Primitivo Piluna Salento IGT

Vibrant nose. Straightfoward in the mouth, raspberries and anise. Very straightforward and enjoyable wine, excellent value at ~$11 / bottle.

Nose like a prosciutto. Earthiness in the mouth, finishes with fruit. Everyone I talked to either really liked this or really disliked it. I'm in the former camp.

Lovely nose. Nothing there in the mouth for me... tannic and woody. Maybe needed more time. Easily my least favorite at the tasting.

2010 Grosjean Pinot Noir Valle d'Aosta

The softer side of pinot. Red fruit and light earthiness. Very nice balance to the wine.. Wait, this is from where? Italy? Wow. Nice wine.

2007 La Stoppa Macchiona Emilia IGT

Big and beastly. Big nose, big in the mouth, complex fruit / earth flavors. Not jammy at all. Nice balance between balance and full expression. Badly wanted a nice big hunk of beef to have alongside.

2007 Tommaso Bussola Valpolicella Classico Superiore Tb
90 points
Floral nose. Complex in the mouth, different with each sip. Blueberries, lavendar, caramelized onion, more. A lot there. I haven't tasted much Valpolicella and there's too much here for me to pick out as a newcomer to the region.
