September 5, 2022 - Cork
April 24, 2021 - In a good state now. Quite long, tannins have matured markedly. Fruit still very lively - lingonberry, young cherries - and quite high acidity. Highly drinkable now but could in a year or so move into new territory with more mature fruit.
April 2, 2021 - PnP i Zalto Bx og universal. Tydelig reduktiv lukt med parfymert bakteppe. Åpner opp etter noen minutter i glasse. Ferske tranebær, bringebær, narturvin, fast og sitronsyre-frisk avsluttning. Til pizza: veldig god til ramsløk-pizza. Fantastisk vin med fersk frukt som funkler innimellom. 1 dag i flaske: fin rein tranebær
March 14, 2021 - Decanted for 20 minutes, but still a bit tannic. It took about an hour in the decanter for the tannins to soften and the wine to come together. The wine was a bit hazy, with a light to medium ruby color. There were cherries and earth on the nose. The cherries and earth carried over to the medium to minus bodied palate, along with a touch of raspberry, and nicely balancing acidity. The decanter time really allowed the wine to harmonize. Should hold for another couple of years.
March 13, 2021 - I agree with Jeffyboy’s note totally. But I found this to be a remarkable wine. Cant wait to try the rest of the portfolio.
January 29, 2021 - PnP rå og reduktiv lukt med litt CO2. Granbar og moreller fast og frisk ettersmak som sitter leeeenge. Trenger mye luft. Grov og rik
December 19, 2020 - Même constant que la dernière bouteille... Sur 2 magnums en plus, vraiment pas content... Un jolie fruit frais mais avec de la réduction et une aigreur pas trop agréable. P.S.: Étaient tous 2 en cave à 16-17 degré... Terminé pour moi cette cuvée d'entrée d'Arianna, je vais rester sur son Frappato régulier qui est toujours excellent, même si je suis conscient que ces 2 magnums ont possiblement été malmenés dans le transport par la SAQ (chaleur, etc)...
December 8, 2020 - very dark, cloudt, "dirty" colour; amarath rim. nose: ripe red cherries, black cherries, some plums and flowers - tulips balsamico; tart and fresh (some kirsch even). good intensity. taste: high acidity, medium (-) body; soft, light tannins; succulent cherries (with Stones), black cherries (bit from compote); long finisz with slightly fermented (funky) notes. Very pleasant and refreshing. Good to pasta with roasted red onion and pancetta.
November 27, 2020 - Interesting wine. Fairly light bodied, very high acid, lots of minerality - a good (and good value) alternative to a Pinot
Fairly light ruby color. Quite aromatic, unripe raspberries, grapefruit. Very high acid and not a ton of tannins. Medium to light body. Flavours include that unripe raspberry, fennel, a little bitter, stalky character that dominates the reasonably long finish.
August 8, 2020 - A very joy-inducing wine: fresh, juicy with lovely fruit and lively acidity. Not one to age long (the tannins are very smooth) but one to enjoy with food now and for the next few years.
