2005 Estate Rosso Italico

A fresh, fruity Italian-style red wine consisting of 83% Sangiovese and 17% Dolcetto.  Goes well with most Italian cuisine.  Not a wimpy wine at 14.3% alcohol, this fruit was ripe when picked.  The delicious fruitiness just explodes from the glass as you pour it.  We debuted the wine at a charity pouring in mid-September and it was liked by everyone.  When the proprietors of the local French charcuterie tasted it, their comments were those appearing just to the right.  Very limited production of only 56 bottles, each individually numbered and labeled by hand.   

$22.00 per bottle - 2 BOTTLE LIMIT

"Wow! I can see why this is such
a HIT!  I get a frolicking fruity
forward, slightly acidic mid-taste,
with a hit of star anise on the finish.
It is not a lingering finish now but I think
that will develop as time goes by. After
the initial taste, I had it with a goat cheese from the north of France... very nice."
