- robr - 03-02-2006 I don't know what everything on the lable means, but it also says "Podere Le Caggiole" and "Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano", which I think means a "Great Wine from Monte-"... right? It's very good, perfect with spinach pizza. Laura says it has a strong olive taste, which I only get a little of, more fruity and quite dry to me. I paid $20, which according to the other posts on these Montes sounds like a lot. 89 BK! - robr - 03-03-2006 So, nobody has ever tried this one? No comments at all? - Innkeeper - 03-03-2006 If I had a nickle for every TN that I've posted without a response, I could buy a case of Petrus. - brappy - 03-03-2006 Of course, that doesn't mean the TN isn't read. I read a lot of TNs and don't respond. But...I do put the ones that interest me on my "Lookout" sheet. I find all tasting notes valuable in some way or another. And no, I've not ever seen or heard of this wine that I know of. The olive taste throws me off a bit and at $20 I don't know that I'll look for it. But I can never say never. mark - robr - 03-04-2006 A case of Petrus...hmm... that's a whole lot of damn nickels! As far as the olive taste, I don't really get that much out of it, unless I happento be eating something with olives or a lot of olive oil in it, then it seems to 'echo' that flavor a bit. - winoweenie - 03-04-2006 Don't get discouraged there Bern, as stated, all posts get read. In my case unless I can add something beneficial or knowledgeable to the post I abstain. I don't really drink that many Italian wines so I'm usually mum on them. WW - Botafogo - 04-25-2006 We just met Lucca Tiberini a couple of weeks ago and went CRAZY for his wines as they are the real deal, not trying to be Bordeaux or Cal/Australian in style. He is also a wonderfully friendly and funny guy AND he makes the best Vin Santo I have ever tasted. We will have some soon on the West Coast. - Botafogo - 04-25-2006 "I paid $20, which according to the other posts on these Montes sounds like a lot." This is NOT Montepulciano d'Abruzzo the value wine from the south. It is a DOCG blend of Sangiovese and Mammalo from the TOWN of Montepulciano in Toscana. That is a very good price for this wine. - wondersofwine - 05-02-2006 Thanks for the elucidation, Roberto. The Italian wines are still very confusing to me even after an education seminar with Banfi a couple years ago. (I see that the woman who led our session has been promoted to vice president for wine education or something similar in wording at Banfi). - Botafogo - 05-07-2006 "The Italian wines are still very confusing to me even after an education seminar with Banfi a couple years ago" Well, those guys (Banfi) have got an agenda for sure and it ain't a broad knowledge of Italian wine culture. For starters, I am sure they pimped you on the Brachetto they market as opposed to one from an actual Brachetto specialist (in PIEMONTE), right? |
