GLASS Red wine goblet
Dark red, very intense. The Nose is following the trail, sniffing with
delight. Ah yes, because here there is just about everything, and the
over excitement makes it difficult to organise all the different layers of
aromas. We discover cherries under spirit, flashes of sweet liquorice,
balsamic hints, touches of tobacco, bitter cocoa and it goes on and
on. Sipping it, the Palate finds mature and concentrated fruits, with a
regal body, and a soft, round finish.
BANQUETING COMPANIONS
As a starter you could begin with an extravagant crispy pork
bacon with potato chips, followed by ziti alla pugliese and meat
rolls alla barese. The literature most adept could be Gastronomic
Tales (Racconti Gastronomici) by Laura Grandi and Stefano
Tettamanti. Have you heard the music of Roberta Cacciapaglia
Nuvole di Luce(Clouds of light)? Setting the right tone to relax
and taste the wine and delicacies. If you feel like watching a film,
we can recommend A touch of Spice by Tassos Boulmetis.
