UMBRIA<br />
TOCCHI SAGRANTINO DI MONTEFALCO<br />
2004<br />
DOCG<br />
(Cantina Poggio Turri)<br />
TASTING NOTE: Deep ruby; minerally, vanilla<br />
oak, lovely floral note with sweet fruit; elegant,<br />
firmly structured with a chocolaty finish. The<br />
most approachable wine of the flight and the<br />
least expensive. Score: HHHHJ (Tony Aspler,<br />

GODÓ 2008<br />
IGT Rosso Veronese<br />
(Remo Farina)<br />
Designed for enjoyment within the first three years<br />
after the vintage, this blend of mostly Corvina with<br />
local and international varieties in support is aged<br />
strictly in stainless steel to retain the wine’s bright<br />
fruitiness. This is a red that will even reward a light<br />
chill (15 minutes) before enjoying with grilled<br />
gourmet sausages or hamburgers.<br />

LUIGI RIGHETTI CAMPOLIETI RIPASSO<br />
VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO SUPERIORE<br />
2008<br />
DOC<br />
Campolieti means “happy fields,” a very<br />
appropriate name considering the high quality of<br />
the grapes used in this wine. Only happy vines<br />
could produce wines this good. Righetti’s ripe,<br />
rich and fruity Campolieti Ripasso is delicious<br />
with lamb or beef dishes.<br />

REMO FARINA RIPASSO VALPOLICELLA<br />
CLASSICO SUPERIORE 2007<br />
DOC<br />
Ripasso (or “re-passing”) involves fermenting the<br />
wine a second time on dried Amarone grapes.<br />
This process deepens the wine’s colour, body,<br />
aroma, taste and ageability. Farina’s Ripasso<br />
features aromas of pepper spice, licorice, cherries,<br />
and ginger, all contributing to a medium-bodied,<br />
long-finishing wine. Try it with grilled veal chops<br />
and herbed tomato salad.<br />

ITALY – ROSÉ WINE<br />
VENETO<br />
SANTA MARGHERITA<br />
MERLOT/CABERNET<br />
CUVÉE ROSÉ 2009<br />
IGT Veneto<br />
This fine Merlot/Cabernet rosé blend from Santa<br />
Margherita is pretty in pink with aromas of strawberry,<br />
lime and cherry. It’s dry and fresh, with<br />
fine fruit tones chiming in on the mid-palate to<br />
give this wine very good balance. Try it with a<br />
variety of fish dishes.<br />

(Adega Coop. Regionalde Monção)<br />
TASTING NOTE: (Translated from the Portuguese)<br />
Notes of ripe citrus compote, with pineapple, all fine<br />
and elegant. The same finesse in the mouth, with<br />
very delicate acidity; well-structured, classy finish.<br />
Very pleasing to drink. Score: 16.5 (out of 20)<br />
