Frescobaldi Pater Sangiovese 1997
Tuscany, ItalyFirst up was Pater a '97 sangiovese by Frescobaldi. Davies described its aroma as "quite dry with earthy/cherry aromas." "There's a leathery, earthy, mushroom flavour that dominates the palate too with just a touch of black cherry fruit." I thought the wine was alcoholic and very dry in the finish. Food would help but it's no bargain given the simple style of this red.Tasted: 01 March 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $14.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
