2011 Bricco del Kurt

Great wine. It's Monferrato. Strong nose and taste of sour cherry. 14.5% alcohol, but very subtle effect.
Was very good with handbells mushroom and veal steaks dinner.

2018 Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais villages nouveaux Premieur

Classy Beaujolais. Nose of a wild rose, hint of a wild rose and caramel in taste. Subtle and classy.
Was good with veal steak dinner.

2016 Grand Cuvee

Nice and unusual Côtes du Rhône. Lots of tannins, no sugar at all, a hint of a bitter note. Good, but not what is expected from Rhone wines.
Was great with veal liver dinner.

2016 Masseria li Veli Primonero


Nice pizza wine. Now sure it's good for any meat, but went pritty good with chicken BBQ pizza. Medium bodied, nice taste, with significant sugar. Not too sweet, but sweet.

2017 Freeda



Very nice Italian Rosé. In blind testing, I'd say it's something from Provence. Nice nose of summer meadow with a bit of honey, citrus, a bit of honey in taste.
Was very good with fish potato pie.
