Wine Spectator tastes Alberto Loi wines

ALBERTO LOI RISERVA

Cannonau di Sardegna Jerzu Riserva 2009

Score: 90

Tasting Note

Subtle spice, tar and leather notes are a fragrant thread winding through baked raspberry and singed orange peel flavors in this medium-bodied red, which is aging gracefully, still bright and focused, with creamy tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2022. 575 cases made.

THERIA

Vermentino di Sardegna 2015

Score: 88

Tasting Note

A dry and aromatic, medium-bodied white, with a broad mix of dried peach, chopped almond, dried mint and fleur de sel flavors, underscored by a streak of spicy mineral and layered with crisp acidity. Drink now through 2020. 3,500 cases made.
