Lightly scented, this opens with delicate aromas of spring field flowers and white stone fruit. On the vibrant palate, crisp acidity accompanies ripe yellow pear, white peach and a hint of ginger. KERIN O’KEEFE

Ronco dei Tassi Malvasia Collio DOC 2019 Wine Enthusiast 01/08/2020 91

Aromas of yellow stone fruit, Alpine herb and wet stone shape the nose. Reflecting the aromas, the medium-bodied, rounded palate offers peach, yellow apple and mature grapefruit before a flinty finish. Tangy acidity keeps it juicy. KERIN O’KEEFE

Delicate scents evoking yellow peach, citrus, and spring blossom aromas come together on this savory, enveloping white. The fresh, medium-bodied palate shows ripe pear, grapefruit, apricot and a hint of fresh bread dough alongside tangy acidity. It closes on a hazelnut note. KERIN O’KEEFE

Graphite, yellow apple and freshly baked bread aromas escape the glass. On the medium-bodied, elegantly structured palate, vibrant acidity accompanies yellow peach, lemon drop candy and grapefruit before a toasted almond close. KERIN O’KEEFE

Ronco dei Tassi Pinot Grigio Collio DOC 2019 Wine Enthusiast 01/08/2020 90
Verbiage

Aromas of hawthorn, white stone fruit and green melon jump out of the glass along with a whiff of bread dough on this expressive white. Round and juicy, the bright palate offers ripe pear, honeydew and lemon drop candy before a bitter almond close. It’s a savory expression of Pinot Grigio. KERIN O’KEEFE

Verbiage

The Ca’ Rome’ 2016 Barbaresco Chiaramanti shows a pretty garnet or ruby color and deep fruit tones of wild cherry, plum and black currant. This is an intense and nicely fleshed out expression of Nebbiolo that offers elegance and power in equal measure. This vintage does not show the tannic astringency that I found in the 2017 vintage (also tasted at the same time), and I much prefer this wine.” -Monica Larner
