Community Tasting Notes 5

  June 3, 2022 - A reliable producer of Salice Salentino, transluscent almost colour, a bit more spicy than the usual SS but very drinkable and a good weekday wine, have had several vintages of this over the years and never had a bad one, VFM

  November 7, 2018 - Medium garnet color and fairly transparent. Spiced cinnamon and cloves on red fruits on the nose. The tasting notes aren’t far off; this is a rather Christmas-y wine with elements of cranberry, tea leaves, and maybe a bit of plumskin. Delicious, especially in the tannic finish.

  March 24, 2018 - Tre bicchieri in the Gambero Rosso 2017. Fresh and juicy, plummy and velvety, Mediterranean herbs and spices (reminiscent of red vermouth), medium body (13.5% ABV), warm and relaxed, ripe red cherries, slightly stemmy phenolics provide grip; lively finish, spicy and plummy, good length. At Pizza Studio Takami, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
