Wine Advocate: 94 Points You can't beat this value. The G.D. Vajra 2020 Barolo Albe is buttoned up with fresh primary fruit, and the wine does not have that hint of over-ripeness that is found across this vintage.

This is a terrific Aglianico. Aglianico is...

Jancis Robinson - “Gorgeous roasted-vine-tomato sweetness and distinct green-vine-stem fragrance. Rustic and robust but immensely charming and appealing. This is just begging for chicken puttanesca with some crusty white bread to soak up those juices. Good Value. (TC). Drink 2021-2023.”

Tinazzi makes excellent Veronese wines; which means they are masters at Amarone, Valpolicella and the like. This “family selection” is made from dried grapes, as is the tradition with Amarone, but here it’s made into a dry wine, and the alcohol isn’t as lofty as with Amarone. So it’s like baby Amarone, made 100% from Corvina, the most important red grape of the region.

Incredible bargain Riserva! Bright ruby red color with an intense and characteristic bouquet, fruity with a violet fragrance. Dry and harmonious with notes of dark chocolate and black cherries. Ideal with grilled meat and pasta dishes with rich tomato sauce.
