So seemingly, like my classmates, I was favouring a highly tannic wine. However, it was the grape tannins that I was applauding, not the over-application of new French oak (a la Napa), and the perfect, succinctly captured expression of this fabulous grape variety.<br /><br />Ron: Dr. Krebs has been sourcing wines for this class for 20+ years, he finds some wonderful examples for the students to try. The Luisi was great. Fantastic fruit and acid...and only 13% alcohol.Vinogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145696108646897751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-45232758389460057962012-10-07T13:19:53.326-07:002012-10-07T13:19:53.326-07:00Heh VG, you have more choice there than I do here!...Heh VG, you have more choice there than I do here! Interested about the Barbera d'Asti. This evening I have drunk a Gutturnio, slightly fizzy yet dry red from the hills around Piacenza - just love it!

No? Acidic too?<br />Would be interesting to get a full review of this wine (your favorite)and you trying this again in five or six years from now.<br />I just bought 2 ea. one for now and one for years from now if I can control myself: three different Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG red wines, and my understanding is they too are are quite tannic. Well, I see. Have you come across this wine?New Hampshire Winemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07111304557830665931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-62603409927234830112012-10-05T11:56:20.052-07:002012-10-05T11:56:20.052-07:00Thud: My classmates certainly have their moments....Thud: My classmates certainly have their moments.<br /><br />ALW: Sorry, but I think this is definitely a quantitative issue :)Vinogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145696108646897751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5287585119513058786.post-14333175196101287322012-10-05T11:32:40.491-07:002012-10-05T11:32:40.491-07:00Oh my gosh I might have to come back and re-read t...Oh my gosh I might have to come back and re-read this. Got mulleted last night on some Kiwi whites and feel grotesque. Maybe I might have felt better if they were Italian reds? What say you?
