I’m falling for Puglia and it’s wines. This wine was very approachable, hints of vanilla and long on palate.
#51 Piquepoul Blanc – 449 grapes left
A new year, a new grape. Great acidity and aroma.
#50 Cabernet Sauvignon – 450 grapes left
Young colt that holds it’s own. Drinks now or cellar for a while. Great fruit on palate. And with this wine that makes 50.
#49 Nebbiolo – 451 grapes left
Never thought a Nebbiolo outside of Italy would leave such an impression. Such a good wine.
#48 Trepat – 452 grapes left
Unexpected nuances on this 100% Trepat. Exciting to drink. Visca Barça.
#47 Arneis – 453 grapes left
Never tried Arneis before. Beautiful nose. Still crisp after four years. Impressed.
#46 Dolcetto – 454 grapes left
My first Dolcetto. Lots of earth notes. Some black fruit. Really dry.
#45 Albillo – 455 grapes left
Aromatic yet austere on palate, elegant without fanfare. Amazing winery.
#44 Falanghina – 456 grapes left
Such acidity. Little on the nose, but big in mouth. Ancient grape
#43 Bonarda – 457 grapes left
A wine with lots of black fruit and tamed tannins. Don’t know why I expected wild tannins.
