Antipasto

Tenuta Caparzo

Toscana Sangiovese 2019

The description is apt. I can’t believe a 2019vintage is so refined and balanced. Ripe raspberries and hint of vanilla. A very versatile wine with or without food. We had antipasto and short ribs with pappardelle and it was awesome. The bottom of the bottle was way too close to the cork. Can’t wait to try older vintages — 5 years ago

Cà de’ Rocchi (Tinazzi)

Vinum Italicum N 3 Opera Corvina Blend 2016

Fabulous. Smooth from start to finish. Dark fruit color. Full bodied with dark fruit forward and a smooth balanced finish. Had it with antipasto, blue cheese and dried figs. Amazing. I bet it would mature nicely if I could resist it for that long. — 6 years ago

Pieropan

Soave Classico Garganega 2017

The perfect wine to have with antipasto consisting of fresh Roma Tomatoes , mozzarella and sardines. Wine was citrus zesty with M+ body. Very moreish. At an outdoor square in Copenhagen commemorating Victor Borge the multi talented Danish American comedian who was born in Copenhagen and died in Connecticut. — 7 years ago

Duckhorn Vineyards

Napa Valley Merlot 2014

Subtle but luscious black fruit and slight oak and earthy notes on the nose. Well balanced but I found it did need to breathe a bit for me to best enjoy. Had a lovely wine and cheese platter for afternoon snack on Christmas Day. Was fun to enjoy these flavors and how they played with various cheeses and antipasto. — 8 years ago

La Capitaine Arbois Poulsard Blend 2016

Nice and dry but with enough fruit to be just right. Sitting the deck at The Mansion and it will be perfect with the antipasto and cheese plates that are on the way. — 9 years ago

Tenute Loacker

Corte Pavone Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2006

Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

Beautiful nose of sweet plums, cooked blueberries, oak, vanilla, licorice, leather, spices, smoke, tobacco leaf, graphite, vinaigrette, herbs, beef jerky and peppercorn.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, smoke, peppermint, light coffee, light vegetables, cinnamon, vinaigrette and black pepper.

Long finish with round, fine tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a great Brunello. Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food. Showing great complexity and a great mouthfeel with a very spicy mid palate.

I really loved the nose on this Brunello, I kept smelling on it for a long time.

Needed an hour to open up, and was better every 20 minutes after that. After 3 hours, huge tannins come in with dark coffee and bitter notes.


This 12 year old big boy has at least 5 years in it, and this is a great vintage too.

I paired it with Italian antipasto.

15% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$45.

This was a pleasant surprise wine for a great price. Chelsea and I enjoyed it immensely with bread, cheese, antipasto salad and Zuppa Toscana (homemade) soup. It was smooth and balanced and very easy drinking. It would pair well with a lit of different foods. I will have to put this on the list to purchase more! — 9 years ago
