Your Personal Wine Recommendation:
Open One Hour Before Serving
If You Do This Wine Will Blow Your Senses Away
This wine drinks like a 2000 vintage Bordeaux at a fraction of the
price and is an absolutely insane deal on an aged out red that is drinking to
perfection. It is imperative that when you open this wine you give it a chance
to open up, the longer the better. I re-visited the wine after one hour and it
was spectacular. I tried it again that same evening about six hours later and
it was breathtaking. The wine tasted like a great 2000 left bank Bordeaux from
St Julien or St Estephe that costs hundreds of dollars a bottle and it can be
had for under twenty a bottle. This wine is that good. The 2000 vintage is one
of those growing seasons that spread its wealth far and wide. The same
climactic conditions that gave Bordeaux it's "vintage of the
century", moved from west to east over the Southern Rhone, Piedmont (the
infamous 100pt vintage), Northern Italy and through Slovenia. In each wine region
incredible quality resulted. We have found this same quality from family run
winery in Abruzzo. The wine comes from Ettore Galasso who with Zaccagnini and
the great Masciarelli introduced the great wines of Abruzzo to the world. This
wine the 2000
Vittoriale
is a special
bottling of Montepulciano that has just been released by Galasso and has been
aging in his cellars since 2000. I flipped my lid when I found out what we
could offer this for. The wine is the perfect match of elegance and finesse
balanced by concentration and depth that only time in the cellar of such
quality can bring. The fruit is still youthful and dances on your palate.
Superb aromatics and a glorious finish. The wine has been stored in ideal
conditions with perfect provenance. This wine will run out. This is the best
quality at the lowest price on a perfectly aged-out red from a great vintage
that I can remember. Grab this wine with both hands.

This is definitely a wine to spend time with, to ponder and enjoy. Superb black
tarry fruits that are still youthful balanced by oak, tobacco, charcoal,
piercing clarity , great complexity. Must Breathe when opened. Still
youthful but definitely going to that special place where great wines go to
with time in the cellar. Incredible value twenty years. I am taking some of
this wine home with me!
