Friday, May 29: Tour of Tuscany
We're comparing a Chianti Classico with a Super Tuscan blend in another red wine showcase…
Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico RS 2017 -- a wine estate going back over 800 years and started by monks, they make benchmark Chianti; a great intro to the bright, friendly charm and food-friendliness of Sangiovese. $18.50
Aia Vecchia Lagone Rosso 2017 -- a generations-old grower in Bolgheri, on the Tuscan coast, which was ground zero for the Super Tuscan movement of the 1990s; a Bordeaux-inspired blend of international varietals (Merlot, Cabernet, and Cabernet Franc grown in the warmer, coastal area, which gives it a bigger, richer, riper profile. $17.50
We will be joined by Katie Dorazio, regional rep for Dalla Terra, an Italian importer representing great producers throughout Italy.
