My wife and I are going down a rabbit hole of volcanic, Nebbiolo-esque reds...
Started with an Etna Rosso a few weeks back, and it kind of broke our brains. Now we're chasing that profile.
Most recently: 2015 Corte Normanna Sannio Aglianico Riserva. Serious wine. Dark plum, leather, cracked pepper, iron-and-ash minerality. Firm tannins but totally in balance, and the 15% showed zero heat. This one stuck with us. QPR was off the charts as well.
Bierzo Mencía, Xinomavro, and Frappato are all on our radar. What else should we be exploring? What are you drinking in this space? #food #drink source
