“Fragrant, lifted red fruit on the nose with delicate notes of sweet spice and balsam. Impressively subtle and inviting. Ripe varietal character, strawberry in particular, with supple tannin. Graced by balanced acidity, mineral complexity and fresh berry notes. Fun, but stylish and precise. Very impressive.”
“Enticing aromas of ripe strawberry and cranberry complement richer layers of earth, moss, vanilla and a sudden flutter of floral perfume. Refined, impressively polished tannic structure, with fresh red berry prominent across the palate - this exceptionally well made wine is at once fruity, elegant and smooth, while maintaining a sense of local authenticity. A great wine and great advert for Pinot Nero in Trentino.”
“Mature nose with sweet herbs and yellow fruit and touches of pie crust. The palate has a creamy texture and the round fleshiness that comes with the lowish acidity of the warm vintage. A little short, finishes with notes of pear skin and bitter almonds, but a wine with personality.”
“Very fine perlage and nose which opens with red cherry, sweet spice and custard cream and develops a hint of smokiness with air. Big impact palate, solid, full-bodied, but with a very fine weave, with a dosage that brings back the red fruit. A food wine.”
“Opens very fresh, immediate and focused on nose, grassy with notes of bergamot. Medium body, fine texture and good intensity in the dry savoury finish. A little rigid, but has character.”
“The nose is refined and complex, with red apple, cherry, rose petal, an intriguing note of samphire and a touch of oatmeal biscuit. Great energy on the palate, long and incisive with a lingering, aromatic return (lime, wood ash) in the finish. Classy.”
“Mousse is a little coarse and short. The nose is sour cherry with green herbs and a touch of pie crust. Lacking a little vitality on the palate, acidity a little rigid, not in harmony with the dosage. (Suspect cork - no score).”
“Light red colour. An earthy, seductive nose. Still young and knitting together, but plenty of potential here. The palate is elegant, seductive, with minty herb, raspberry, fresh cherry and violets. Lighter red colour. Pretty impressive expression of Pinot Noir in unfamiliar territory.”
“Fresh and open on the nose, with apple core, lemon cream and a hint of sloe berry. Light and crisp on the palate with lots of airy vitality and a long tangy finish. Bone dry without hardness. Great aperitif wine.”
“Very intense straw shade, going almost to blush. Very attractive, complex nose of herbaceous border and red apple. Palate with creamy texture, broad and quite soft. Low acidity means it is a little short, but it's dry without harshness. A little unrefined, but lots of personality.”
“Intense straw shade, very fine mousse and long perlage. Complex, quite mature nose with notes of straw, apricot and lemon rind. There is breadth on the palate and the finish is round and fresh and very nicely balanced. Superior quality.”
“Albanella topped up with Pinot Noir, this intense, floral mineral driven wine is incredibly elegant. It boasts attractive notes of tree fruit and citrus on the nose while the palate screams with stone fruit flavours. Great wine with plenty of character.”
