Thank you Andreas and Katherina of #PacherHof for the warm welcome and great tasting of your classic #ValleIsarco whites that your family introduced to the area in 1840. Tasting highlights on the way. Stay tuned! #KOwine #WEtaste (at Hotel Weingut Pacherhof) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQUC8ebtaa8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thank you Nadia and Valter @elvio_cogno for the great tasting and wonderful visit! Always such a pleasure! The 2018 #Barbera d'Alba #PrePhylloxera is so delicious and loaded with personality! All the wines are stunning, more posts on the way! #WEtaste #KOwine (at Novello, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQGHGfQtGYE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Another cellar shocker: this savory stunner demonstrates immediate appeal but also longevity of well- made #RossodiMontalcino. 2010 #MarchesatodegliAleramici is all about strawberry, smoke & mineral. It's elegant, weightless & ready. Estate acquired by Francesco Illy in 2018. #WEtaste #KOwine https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJNvf0taXb/?utm_medium=tumblr

Second favorite wine of the night: $Caprili 2005 #Brunello di #Montalcino. From a challenging vintage due rain at harvest time, this is just deicious. Smooth, elegant and fresh, it's perfect now. #WEtaste #KOwine https://www.instagram.com/p/CPEYHtvrtw5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hands down, the 1997 #Lisini #Brunello di #Montalcino was the winner of the night. Smooth, gorgeous & delish, it has both complex aromas, great depth & youthful tension. Dazzling now but still offers years of pleasure. #WEtaste #KOwine https://www.instagram.com/p/CPEP2-Hr2vz/?utm_medium=tumblr

For Easter: 1999 #LeChiuse #Brunello di #Montalcino Riserva. Phenomenal. Delicious, complex, elegant & while perfect now, will maintain for years. Open 3 or 4 hours in advance & witness amazing evolution. Don't decant, you'll miss this wine's rich story unfold in the glass. #WEtaste #KOwine https://www.instagram.com/p/CNQVcysrNbV/?igshid=116ehw0ug31l2

From our cellar, this #PoderiColla 2004 #Barbaresco #Roncaglie shows the complexity of age combined with still vibrant acidity. Austere, old school style and while holding fast, is starting its inevitable decline, but with almost heartbreaking dignity and poise. #WEtaste #KOwine https://www.instagram.com/p/CMu2FAULblE/?igshid=8jtvi1yc8oqn

From one of the pioneers of the #MountEtna renaissance, this #TenutaTerreNere 2007 #EtnaRosso #CalderaraSottana has aged beautifully. Earthy, elegant, mineral driven and ready now. #WEtaste #KOwine https://www.instagram.com/p/CMFtk1frWll/?igshid=14wx2cdhuxwh5
