Falesco Est Est Est di Montefiascone 2012
Lazio, ItalyHerbal slicked, lees-licked and lemon-lined, this medium bodied blend of trebbiano and malvasia is from the remarkably memorable DOP of Est! East!! East!!! in Lazio. Whole cluster grapes spend time in stainless steel, preserving the bright fruit. Greengage, lemon, green fig and mineral salts on the finish. Best when warmed up a bit. As legend has it, a 12th century Bishop was travelling to the Vatican for a meeting with the Pope. The Bishop sent a scout ahead to survey the villages along the route for the best wines, with directions to write 'Est' (Latin for 'It is') on the door of the inns he visited when he was particularly impressed with the quality of the wine, so the Bishop following on his trail would know where to stop for a tipple. At a Montefiascone inn, the scout was reportedly so stoked with the local wine that he wrote Est! Est!! Est!!! on the door.Tasted: 17 February 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $18.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
