2022 Tiberio Pecorino Colline Pescaresi [Rating: 4/5 | $25]
This is another wine from this amazing wine producer, Tiberio, that I had the extreme pleasure of visiting this past summer. This is their varietal Pecorino. Pecorino is an in-fashion white wine variety, both in Italy and in the world, and the reason is the combination of texture (relatively rich) and aromas (intense), all at…

2022 Tiberio Trebbiano d’Abruzzo [Rating: 5/5 | $21]
I already reviewed two wines from this producer, Tiberio. This is their entry level Trebbiano d’Abruzzo; they also make a much more expensive, higher-end Trebbiano. It is worth mentioning that, unlike the majority of producers in the Abruzzo region, this wine is made with 100% Trebbiano abruzzese grapes. This grape is more aromatic and just…

2021 Valle Reale Montepulciano d’Abruzzo [Rating: 3/5 | $17]
Montepulciano is the leading red grape variety in the region of Abruzzo. It makes tasty, dark, and fruit-forward red wines. It also makes fantastic rose’ wines. Because Abruzzo is not as famous as other regions in Italy (see Tuscany), their wines command lower prices and many are exceptional values. If you are looking for inexpensive,…

2022 Tiberio Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo [Rating: 5/5 | $21]
This is the wine of my summer 2023. Not that it is just a summer wine, but I discovered this producer this summer, and I am really enjoying it now as I will in the future. Rose’ wines do not get the attention they deserve. I am a big fan, but many people just think…

2021 Principe Pallavicini Frascati [Rating: 3/5 | $14]
What wine do Romans (present and ancient) drink? It’s not a fancy wine from far away. Romans – just like people from most cities in Italy – drink locally. In Rome, people at home or at a Trattoria (typical inexpensive restaurant) mostly drink wines from the Castelli region, which is right outside Rome. Frascati is…

2019 Rodano Chianti Classico [Rating: 4/5 | $19]
Wine and cheese? This bottle has both. This is one of my favorite – and affordable (at $16 – $19) – Chianti Classicos. (Yes, as you can see, I taste and review a lot of them). It is characterized by being an explosive wine. It’s full body, packed with plums and strawberry jam aromas, and…

2020 Paitin Langhe Nebbiolo “Starda” [Rating: 4/5 | $20]
This wine is made from another of my favorite grape varieties: Nebbiolo. This grape makes some of the most heralded, complex, and age worthy wines: Barolo and Barbaresco. These wines cost north of $40, and – unlike some Cabernet Sauvignons – are not too oaky (or oaky at all) nor fruit bombs. Instead, they are…

2018 Castell’in Villa Chianti Classico [Rating: 5/5 | $28]
I am starting with my favorite wine, and one of the two wines that made me fall in love with Chianti Classico. Chianti Classico is a subregion of the broader Chianti appellation. All the wines are based on the grape variety Sangiovese. This makes wines that are high in acidity, fresh, elegant, and with a…
