Name of wine

[Bubbabey]

I am trying to find out the name and correct spelling, and what type of wine that I have listed. Not into wines, but would like some assistance if possible. I believe the spelling is "Altamara", 1999 vintage. Who makes it and why type is this. Thanks for the help.

Hello Bubba,

Welcome to the wineboard!

Could the wine have been spelled Altamira? If it is it is probably a Malbec from Argentina.

99 was a great vintage so you should have a great bottle on your hands.

If your wine is spelled Altamura, it could be a Sangiovese or Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa. The 1999 cab is an excellent wine that should be drank at a special occasion. I have not had the sangiovese.

wineguruchgo,
Thanks for the info. I believe the spelling is Altamura. I did find a bottle, 99, and I have it on the way. I really appreciated the help.

Stealthman,
Thanks for your help. I believe the wine you told me about was the correct one. At least I sure hope it was. I ordered a bottle, 1999, as I couldn't find a 1998 vintage. Thanks again.
