This was a pretty good $10 selection. Parker rates the bottle at 89 and it has a pretty good pedigree hovering mostly in the 88-91 range. AND it actually tasted good!!
It's probably the first Italian wine I've tried so far. I think it makes a good "no special occasion" wine.
Gary, I have tried this wine from a previous vintage and found far to much bottle variation. One bottle GREAT and the other fair to bad. Don't know why its like that.
I did find that Falesco Merlot Umbia was a good every day drinker but a little more expensive. $5.00 more about I think.
Maybe this just happened to be a good bottle then. Oh well, thought I had a real winner on my hands for $10. But if it isn't consistent.... :-(
Keep trying it. Formulate for yourself. I was only surprised when bottles from the same case were that different. None appeared corked.
If you have better success that would be great. For a while I drank this regularly as the house wine of sorts for every day. it was like $6-7 a few years ago...like about vintage1997
What do you mean by "corked"? Do you mean somehow tainted from the cork?
yes, Tainted is what I meant. They did not appear to be but then I am no expert on that aspect.
