Tasted on April 23, 2024. #DailyWine #dnardi #Grillo #Sicily #Planeta #Value This wine is made with a grape variety native of Sicily called Grillo. It’s always fun to explore uncommon wine varieties. This one is very aromatic, with bright acidity. Dry white wine, 13.5% alcohol. Very pale, lemon color. Medium-high intensity nose, displaying green notes,…

Tasted on January 30, 2024. #DailyWine #wine #Fiano #FianoDiAvellino #Campania #Terredora Fiano is considered by many – including the main authority in Italian wine, Ian D’Agata – one of two best white wine grapes of Italy (the other being Verdicchio). It is a white grape mostly planted in the region of Campania, where Naples is…

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 Inama “Vin Soave” Soave Classico [Rating: 4/5 | $16]
This wine is made with 100% Garganega grape. Pale yellow/greenish color. Parsley, dill, herbs, citrus (lemon and orange peel), and wet stone in the nose. Very interesting, it also has a particular “fizzy sensation” in the nose, which doesn’t make a lot of sense but I don’t know how else to describe it. The smell…

2020 Sartarelli Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi “Tralivio” [Rating: 3/5 | $14]
This is another Verdicchio that is relatively easy to find in the United States. Pale lemon-yellow color. Initially lemon, apple and pear in the nose. After breathing, it also shows flowers, orange peel, and iodine accents. As expected from a good verdicchio, there is mouthwatering acidity. Almost tart in the finish. Light body, very good…

2021 Berthier Sauvignon blanc [Rating: 3/5 | $ 16]
Sauvignon blancs are a very common type of varietal wines. This is a bottle from France, so it is not as much over-the-top as the New World examples. It has a very pale lemon yellow color. Good nose intensity, with lemon, flint, green grass, and pear. In the palate, it comes across a bit greener.…

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…

2021 Collestefano Verdicchio di Matelica [Rating: 4/5 | $18]
For France (and many other countries) two white wines are worth remembering because they fill up the display sections in stores: Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. For Italy, there are a lot of white grape varieties, but one that is worth remembering is definitely Verdicchio. Verdicchio is a white grape that makes age-worthy, aromatic, high-acidity wines.…
