Planeta Cerasuolo di Vittoria

2021 / 750 ml.

Item #: 61525

JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Wednesday, August 17, 2022
Black cherry and sliced blood-orange aromas. Medium to full body, orange-peel undertones and a juicy finish. Clean, focused and real. Delicious all round. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. (James Suckling)
VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2023
The 2021 Cerasuolo di Vittoria wafts up, more savory than sweet, with smokey earth tones and crushed rocks giving way to black raspberry. This washes across the palate with mineral-tinged red and blue berry fruits complicated by inner herbal tones. Brisk acidity maintains energy throughout as the 2021 tapers off with a salty flourish, leaving licorice and spice hints to linger. (Eric Guido)

Piero Mancini Vermentino di Gallura

2022 / 750 ml.

Item #: 62088

VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Nov 2023
The 2022 Vermentino di Gallura excites the imagination with a complex blend of peach preserves and chamomile accentuated by sweet smoke, stone dust and hints of petrol. This is full of zesty tension, salty and mineral, with silky textures cut by a laser beam core of sour citrus and tart orchard fruits. The 2022 finishes long and structured. Kiwi and sour lime nuances keep the mouth watering for more. (Eric Guido)

Mauro Molino Langhe Nebbiolo

2022 / 750 ml.

Item #: 62116

WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2024
This wine presents classic notes of raspberry, sour cherry and wild herbs, reflecting on the palate with raspberry seeds, green herbs and dusty tannins. Its traditional yet nuanced characteristics offer a rich and complex finish. (Jeff Porter)
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 24th Aug 2023
The entry-level Mauro Molino 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo shows a bright and punchy bouquet with redcurrant, wild raspberry, violet, earth and sweet almond. This is a simple and authentic wine that will prove ideal next to a home-cooked meal of ravioli or stuffed pasta shells. There is a lot of freshness on the close to happily cut through the fat in those dishes. Production is a generous 70,000 bottles. (Monica Larner)
JD9090 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 5/13/2024
Made from grapes from the Roero, the pale ruby/red 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo is floral and fruity with aromas of ripe strawberries, rosewater, and fresh berries. It has lovely, snappy freshness on the palate, with good structure and a clean, citrus-noted finish. It’s a very pretty and fresh style and would be great to enjoy young with a light chill.

G.D. Vajra Barbera Freisa

2021 / 750 ml.

Item #: 62124

RP9292 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 24th Aug 2023
In the bottle with the light blue label, this is a blend of 70% Barbera and 30% Freisa. This is another terrific value wine from G.D. Vajra. The 2021 Piemonte Barbera Freisa reveals floral tones, crushed rose, wild fruit, spice and white pepper. This is the kind of super popular wine that sells out before I can write my review. The low sticker price makes this an irresistible deal. (Monica Larner)

J. Hofstätter Pinot Grigio

2022 / 750 ml.

Item #: 62220

SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - May 31, 2024
This minerally white offers a subtle waft of petrol notes, with a tang of salinity layered with ripe persimmon, pear and beeswax flavors, plus accents of almond skin, pink grapefruit zest, chamomile and white pepper. There’s a supple, pleasing plumpness to this version, but it’s reined in nicely by deftly honed acidity. Drink now through 2029. 12,500 cases made, 4,000 cases imported. (Alison Napjus)
