Apr 3rd, 2013Wine we brought home from Italy. Upon first tasting in Italy, fresh, crisp, and acidic. Brought home a bottle to age 7 months, less crisp, less acidic, almost a stale taste lingers on the tongue, tastes more like a steel aged Chardonnay than we remember. Hints of almond mouthfeel. Might pair better with a pork dish now than a seafood dinner it is being paired with. Less for salads or other al fresco dining--it has gained serious body. Deeper flavor, more like a Pinot Gris now.
