First off, I have to apologize for the completely trash-tastic photo in this week's post. It had been raining off and on all day, and the lighting was complete shit. As crappy as the lighting was, this wine was so, so good,.
Villa Puccini Gold Label Toscana 2004 (13% ABV)
Produced only in outstanding vintages, this delicious wine consists of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 12 months in small French oak barrels, then another 12 months in the bottle. Dry, rich, and harmonious, this wine is enjoyable now and will continue to develop for 5 years or more with proper cellaring. (Because, you know, we all know how to properly cellar our wines). Enjoy with roasts, steaks, chops, cheeses, and Gabrielle Holliday’s Italian-American cooking. Amen.
Bottom line - if you love Italian reds, you must buy this wine. It ranges in price from $13-$16, and worth every penny. Get it now, drink it later, and thank me tomorrow.
Cheers!
