Frescobaldi Castelgiocondo Lamaione Merlot 1998
Tuscany, ItalyThe '98 harvest wasn't easy with heavy August rains and showers throughout the harvest. The result is less firm, much softer Lamaione. The fruit is slightly green and the palate is dry but it remains an elegant wine. The good news is it's drinking well now - perfect for restaurants. This is the eighth edition of Lamaione and the second since the vineyard was officially subdivided into two - the other half goes to Luce the Mondavi Frescobaldi joint venture. We look for better things to come.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $49.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
