Refosco 2019

89

The 2019 Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso lifts from the glass with peppery florals and crushed red currants. It’s silky-smooth with a savory mix of tart wild berries and spice. This leaves a coating of concentration and nuances of sweet tannins while tapering off with medium length. The 2019 could use another year or two of cellaring to show its best.

Pinot Grigio Colli Orientali 2019

88

The 2019 Pinot Grigio is surprisingly spicy, earthy and savory. Crushed stone and wild herbs give way to young white peach offset by hints of ginger and flowery undergrowth. It’s silky in texture, contrasting vibrant acids with mineral-tinged ripe orchard fruits. It gains sweetness toward the close, leaving a pleasant yet fresh sensation. Very nice.
