2017 Tasca d’Almerita “Guarnaccio” Perricone Sicilia DOC
I’ve been getting to try grapes that are new to me (or ones that I have rarely tried) more often of late, and if the Perricone is any indication–I need to do it more often.
Italian Wine
2016 Garofoli “Piancarda” Rosso Conero DOC
The 2016 Garofoli “Piancarda” Rosso Conero DOC gives me the first bottle of Montepulciano in nearly 10 years. I think the 10 years has done me well.
2016 Garofoli “Podium” Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore DOC
Another bottle of Verdicchio, the 2016 Garofoli “Podium” Verdicchio is definitely a different approach to the same grape.
2018 Garofoli “Macrina” Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico Superiore
A new grape for me, the 2018 Garofoli “Macrina” Verdicchio surprised me with flavour and value. Always good to find.
2018 Renzo Masi Chianti
A $12 Chianti that didn’t leave me with a raging headache? Yeah….it actually happened.
2017 Renzo Mazi Erta e China
Good value from Italy without having to get a Chianti or Pinot Grigio? Who knew? Check out why I liked the 2017 Renzo Masi Erta e China (besides the fun name).
