Poderi Einaudi | Rosso delle Langhe Luigi Einaudi | 2013 | Wine Advocate | 31/08/2018 | 93 | ||||||
Verbiage“The 2013 Langhe Luigi Einaudi is an intriguing blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo, Merlot and Barbera. Grapes come from the Einaudi estates in Barolo and in Dogliani. There is a lot of meat on these bones. This is a hearty and darkly saturated red blend that offers an elegant bouquet followed by firm tannins and lavish textural richness. The bouquet is specifically focused on blackberry and savory spice. There is depth, structure and complexity here.” – Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Aug. 31, 2018 |

Carpineta Fontalpino | Do ut Des IGT | 2016 | James Suckling | 10/07/2018 | 95 | ||||||
VerbiageThe fruit here really takes your breath away with its intensity, as well as purity. Blackberry crumble, pressed violets, ink, iodine, charcoal, vanilla and resin. It’s the polish of the tannins that really makes this wine, carrying itself effortlessly over a shimmer of electric acidity to the long finish. Drink in 2023. Made from organically grown grapes. |
