There was a tasting event of Italian wines from three wineries at a wine shop Vintage Berkeley.
La Staffa from Marche.
Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico Superiore 2015
Good acidity. Aromas and flavors of acacia, pear, apple and almond.
Very good wine and would go well with seafood.
Balgera from Valtellina, Lombardia.
Rosso di Valtellina
Inferno Reserva 2010
Valgella 2002
These wines are Nebbiolo from Alps.
I had their wine last year and loved them.
In fact, I was hooked by Nebbiolo from this region and have been trying wines of Valtellina from other makers like Ar. Pe. Pe.
What it would be like to revisit my first Valtellina?
Roundness from the ageing yet there were still fresh flowers and fruits...I still loved them!
Grifalco from Basilicata.
Aglianico del Vulture Gricos This is made of grapes from young vines.
Aglianico del Vulture Grifalco Older vines.
Aglianico del Vulture Daginestra Grapes are from single vineyard.
Dried purple flower and a lot of black fruits. Tannin was high but not aggressive.
Very good wine!
Aglianoco has been a kind of "it wine" to us since last year.
We are glad to find another good producer.
