Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 93 Points "This is one of the most accessible and trustworthy wines you can buy from Piedmont. Keeping in line with past vintages, the G.D. Vajra 2017 Barolo Albe opens to medium concentration and a very expressive or fruit-forward bouquet. This hot-climate 2017 edition shows a little more ripeness and roundness as is to be expected, but these results are a safe bet...

The 2011 Aglianico del Vulture Daginestra is released five years after the harvest and represents the most sophisticated wine in this estate's portfolio. The bouquet is dark and savory with spice, cured meat, licorice, dried fruit, black mineral and ash. The results are balanced and tight and I admire the tannic definition that lends so much backbone. This is a terrific Aglianico. Aglianico is...

The best Frascati we have ever tried! On the nose reminds pear and green apple, then elderflower, grass and white flowers. Mainly fresh and tasty, fruity and easy to drink with a long persistence. Great aperitif, sea food starter, risotto, different preparations with fish, fresh spreadable cheeses.

93 points James Suckling This is really delicious with berries, cherries, crushed stones, slate and dried rosemary. Subtle and flavorful at the same time. Medium tannins that are polished and pretty. Spices at the end. Grenache, as you may know already. Drink or hold.

Dave McIntyre 3 stars 'Great value' Made from garganega, the primary white grape grown in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy (think soave), this is a delightful, beguiling wine. It flirts with aromas of white flowers, then seduces with a touch of honey-roasted peach. Pair it with seafood or light pasta dishes, but be sure to save some to savor by itself later, as it opens up and reassures...

A fruity nose of ripe cherry and spices leads to a soft, well rounded palate, with texture and good length. A delicious match for affettati misti or any other Italian fare.

Tinazzi makes excellent Veronese wines; which means they are masters at Amarone, Valpolicella and the like. This “family selection” is made from dried grapes, as is the tradition with Amarone, but here it’s made into a dry wine, and the alcohol isn’t as lofty as with Amarone. So it’s like baby Amarone, made 100% from Corvina, the most important red grape of the region.

Great value Tuscan! Richly textured with coffee, cherry and notes of spice. Well structured with firm integrated tannins that lead into a long finish. Drink now to 2025.
