    Nathan’s “I’m Moving To Italy” podcast has been a encouraging lifeline in our process of searching for, buying, and learning how to live in Italy. In July of this year, Natan interviewed us for his podcast. We tell our story from the beginning up to the present and hope it helps others as much as… Read More »We were interviewed by Nathan…
  • The search 2.0
    Losing the chance to buy the apartment in San Damiano d’Asti was an emotional shock but we were determined to spend the 10 remaining days of our trip to widen the search and open ourselves to other cities large and small. It was a crash course in Italian real estate. To make a long story… Read More »The search 2.0

Recent Tasting Notes on CellarTracker

  • Tasted by rogerr. Tannins mostly resolved. Wine is balanced and enjoyable. Not memorable but well made. Drank over 2 days and day 2 the wine had degraded a bit. Recommend drinking now. (91 pts.) – Tasted 2/29/2024.
  • Tasted by rogerr. Drank over 2 days separated by 2 days. On day 1, it was a bit stewed and to my palate seemed perhaps past peak and heading down. Still enjoyable and I'd give it 92 points. I only had half the bottle, stored it in the fridge, and then finished it 2 days […]
  • Tasted by rogerr. Holding up nicely, has years left but not sure it will improve. Baked strawberry, a bit of leather, other red fruits. A bit of soap. Nice mid palate and a pretty good finish. Somewhat disappointing at the price paid. (92 pts.) – Tasted 2/21/2024.
  • Tasted by rogerr. Loved this wine when I tasted it at the winery 7 years ago. Opened my only bottle now and it delivers what I remember. New world take on Sangiovese which has depth, texture and balance. Yes, it is fuller bodied and richer than old world Sangiovese but it is a delicious expression. […]
  • Tasted by rogerr. Enjoyed over 2 days. Classic gamay Beaujolais with little carbonic aspects. Rich for a gamay with good mineral, red current, and some structure. Held up nicely the next day. (92 pts.) – Tasted 2/11/2024.
  • Tasted by rogerr. Solid but not memorable. Agree with recent notes. May improve with age. (91 pts.) – Tasted 2/10/2024.
  • Tasted by rogerr. Still youthful, fruit forward, and full bodied. A bit too new world but on the second day it builds a better backbone of structure. Should be a crowd pleaser and will probably improve with age. (92 pts.) – Tasted 2/9/2024.
  • Tasted by rogerr. Love the uniqueness of this wine. Drinking well now but can age a bit more. Beautiful balance and nice finish. (92 pts.) – Tasted 2/5/2024.
  • Tasted by rogerr. Nice. Circumstances lead to saving half a bottle in the fridge for 3 days. Was a little diminished and not as enjoyable. Drink now. (92 pts.) – Tasted 1/28/2024.
