2006 Masciarelli Montepulciano d’Abruzzo

[Innkeeper]

Popped an '07 last night. Just as nice as ever, with maybe a slight edge on the tannin. We matched it with are "cow milkless" pizza.

We had gone without pizza since finding out earlier this year that Bev was allergic to cow milk and its offspring. We paint a pizza crust with a tablespoon of EVOO; then add a cup of our Italian tomato sauce (mentioned above); we sprinkle with grated Romano and add some basil leaves; then a third pound of shredded Cascio De Roma, topping of the night, and Penseys' Pasta Sprinkle. The cheeses come from sheeps' milk. Delicious.
