November 15, 2022 - Wine Tasting in Friuli-Venezia Giulia - Ronchi di Cialla and Venica & Venica; 11/14/2022-11/17/2022 (Cialla, Dolegna del Collio, Trieste): Tasted at the winery - 7th in the lineup. This was surprisingly peppery on the palate to me, more spice than I expected from a Merlot. Mouth texture was silky and earth comes through on the backside. This wine was a special release that they made to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy and to raise money for the victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.

June 24, 2019 - Visiting Rome and Tuscany; 6/18/2019-7/2/2019 (Lazio and Tuscany, Italy): Now 18 years of age, this deep garnet Merlot is showing a gorgeous array of tertiary aromas, yet retains a nice core of fruit. Black cherries, red bramble fruits, walnuts, cigar box, pickling spice and menthol characterize the nose and palate. Medium-bodied and with good acidity, it has a very supple mouth texture by virtue of its soft residual tannins and seamless alcohol (listed as 14%). Layered and dense in the middle and long on the back end, this is an impressive mature wine with enough fruit to ensure another 5-6 years of life. Drink now-2025.
