GIGETTO 2017, Gobs of Fruit
7 December 2020
Another thoughtful tasting review from Wine Weirdos team, this time tasting Gigetto 2017:
Fruit flowing out of the glass yet beautifully balanced with firm tannins and so accessible and versatile.
Just love the comments.
This summer's trio!

Starting a new life in Tuscany, the dream that became Poggio La Noce
27 October 2020
A beautiful write up from Sabrina Somigli of IntraVino (a popular Italian Wine Blog), tells the story of getting lost in the hills of Fiesole and discovering as if by chance the vineyards of Poggio La Noce. That in turn led to a visit to the winery and to more tales of journeys and life changes whilst tasting the wines of Poggio La Noce. "Fiesole is full of surprises," she writes, "not the least of which the whimsical names of some of the local wines. And so if in Florence a visit to Fiesole is a must, and a visit to Poggio La Noce is well worth your time!"
Thank you Sabrina for the insightful and colorful write up.
SlowWine interview of Poggio La Noce for the 2021 Wine Guide
23 August 2020
In these crazy times of the pandemic, this year's SlowWine interview had to be conducted via video/Zoom call and so many special thanks to Marco Sangiorgi for the fun and lively chat and for sharing the video. And for our English speaking friends, sorry, but it was conducted in Italian only.
A Pet-Nat as "un-hippy" as you can get...
2 August 2020
Another so insightful write up by Stephen McConnell of Wine1percent.com about our latest arrival, Pet'Golò!
"A hazy pink meanders around the glass. Not crazily gassed. No explosions on opening, no fizzy overflows, but it certainly isn’t flat either. Anyone who has popped more than one methode ancestrale in their life KNOWS there can be surprises. Here’s a pet-nat from Tuscany, all organic, biologique, sans soufre, about as clean and solid and *un-hippy* as you can get. One of those sparklers that is elegant enough you could disgorge it and charge double. Clean and distinct, gravely latex subtext on a tart berry punch, rich finish overwhelming the acid crunch."
