Montesodi Riserva 2007 by Frescobaldi - That's life!

Dear Wine Lovers,

Autumn is our season and I'm just reminiscing over of my favourite wine ever.

Today I'm coming back on well-known territory and I'm going to write about a Wine that I had presented to you two years ago.

If you really love wines and if you really want to live a magical experience without spending a fortune, pls listen to me and go online to buy this miracle in a bottle.

Last saturday one of my best friends visited me with a surprise, a basket of wonderful fresh porcini mushrooms (see pic), here in Italy in this period it hasn't rained enough and mushrooms are unavailable; but my friend Claudio is a super-hero and he found some of nature's marvellous gift.

Non-scheduled lunch, with a special friend, I have to invent something.

In this 1 hour we sat down tasting an appetizing lunch and first of all "smelling" a unbelievable wine named...

Ladies & Gentleman and the Oscar goes to (suspence, music growing up with strings, horns, timpani):

Montesodi Riserva 2007 by Marchese Frscobaldi

Five minutes of standing ovation, as for the Big Luciano Pavarotti at Madison after "Nessun dorma... Vincerooo".

Ok, I know that a wine like this isn't the best match for a dish of "Paccheri with Porcini mushrooms" but I wanted to taste that wine and share it with my friend so, I dared and I won!

Here we have "the Wine" in my opinion; a Sangiovese cru selection of Montesodi Vineyards, in the Chianti Rufina area, near Florence.

400 meters above sea level, here there is the best environment to produce one of the best wines in the world.

Montesodi is a King, a really opulent wine, with a dark-inky ruby red impenetrable colour, leave it rest 10 mins in the glass and then smell "the dream", you'll find all the aromas unique and rare, you'll fall in love just smelling it (no tasting notes today - you have to try it and write me).

Tasting Montesodi you'll live a thrilling experience, rich, powerful, dense, exciting. The finish is very very long and unforgettable.

For my palate, this is one of the best wine in the world, a wine to celebrate life... and every day should be good to do it.

If you need some suggestion on how to buy this gem, write me in private and I'll give you some good web-addresses.

I hope to see you here for my next review, I really appreciate your interest in wine and your friendship.

Live your life deeply and do it with style.
