Speri Valpolicella Classico Superiore “Ripasso” DOC 2018 James Suckling 01/09/2020 93
Verbiage

A full-bodied red, yet it’s tight and polished with intense, chewy tannins, but ever so long and deep. Impressive black-truffle, ash and mineral undertones. Flavorful finish. Solid and thought-provoking. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but better in two or three years.

Verbiage

Lovely density and focus with fine tannins that show structure and beauty. Walnut, slate and ash. Flavorful and persistent. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Verbiage

Underbrush, pressed rose, forest berry and camphor aromas shape the nose on this earthy, elegant red. Linear and firmly structured, the palate features red cherry, blood orange, licorice and a hint of rusty nail set against taut, refined tannins. Give it time to fully develop. Drink 2024–2030.

Ronco dei Tassi Sauvignon Collio DOC 2016 Wine Enthusiast 01/09/2020 91
Verbiage

This bright, elegant white has rather restrained varietal aromas evoking hawthorn, hay, citrus and wild herb. It’s racy and tangy, featuring white grapefruit, green melon and flinty mineral flavors alongside crisp acidity. KERIN O’KEEFE

Bucci Verdicchio Classico dei Castelli di Jesi DOC 2018 Vinous 01/09/2020 91
Verbiage

Dusty young peach and mango combines with white smoke and a spritz of lime to form an inviting and wonderfully fresh display on the 2018 Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore. It perfectly balances soft textures with salty minerals and acid-driven tension, leaving notes of saline-infused green apple and a hint of grapefruit which begs you to take another sip. The fruit comes from a mix of Bucci estate vineyards, while the wine is aged in old, large 50-75 hectoliter barrels for four months. It’s an amazing value for Verdicchio at this level. Drinking window: 2020 -2026

A dry, fresh pinot noir rosé with lemons and sliced strawberries with a green tint. It’s medium-bodied and fruity. Flavorful finish. Drink now.
