Trentadue

We sampled the shoestring sangiovese, named for its small plot size on the Vineyard. It had soft tannins, light berry notes, to be paired with light red Italian dishes.

We also tried, and purchased, the Victorian house Zin. Made from vines that date back to 1886, this Zin had a nice fruity nose and a pleasant peppery finish.

This was the first winery we tried montepulciano at, and it was a good first experience. Extremely smooth with hints of blueberry, vanilla, and plum. These first 3 wines were all Italian style.

La storia wines were their more modern wines. MC tried the cuvee 32 (trentadue means 32 in Italian). I tried the La storia Zin. It was more fruit forward than the Italian style, very good but a bit lighter on the tannins. Last, we tried the petite sirah. It was very dark colored, with notes of dark berry, vanilla, brown sugar. We also took a bottle of this home.

We toured the winery, and saw the Vineyard, area where separation of grapes from Vine happened, and the aging and bottling areas.
