| Vintage: | 2011 |

| Description: | Yes there are a lot of words in the title, so forgive the following nomenclature notes. We're dealing with an appellation system that is fairly specific and a varietal that is virtually unknown and, thus, outside the spectrum of the average American wine lover. Cococciola is a rare indigenous grape, only grown in Rocca San Giovanni using the traditional “tendone” overhead trellis system. Terre de Chieti means grown in the province of Chieti. Terre Valse, meaning “worthy land” in Latin, is the name given to the wine produced specifically from the vineyards within the land boundaries of the Frentana village. Citrus, floral notes, maybe a hint of grain, it's a little like Pinot Grigio, a little like Cortese, but definitely its own bird as a crisp, unfettered white that will play with all manner of lighter-handed dishes. The winery recommends serving it with appetizers, lighter seafood and vegetarian dishes and sushi, which begs the question ‘just how many sushi bars are there in Abruzzo?' Like other typical Italian whites, this is best served young for its freshness. Interesting stuff Stock Report 6/13 |
