Already
a fan Teroldego wine? Then your
tastebuds have traveled well! This Italian grape is part of their Reincarnated
Collection – rarer and lesser-known grapes that show much promise in Texas. It
is certainly the first we have heard that is Texas sourced and bottled for
consumers. We find it an absolute delight to try new grape varietals,
especially within Texas to sample. So, what is it like? Let us start off with the beautiful deep ruby
red color immediately followed by those fantastic plum aromas on the nose. A
good start is always a plus when you open a bottle. This is followed by flavors
of blackberry and caramel on the palate, with just a touch of vanilla and some
tobacco for extra character. The bold
tannins and high acids demand some serious fatty dishes to be served with this
wine. Sounds yummy, right? This Italian varietal has certainly found a new home
at Kalasi Cellars and they are making their mark in the ever-growing Texas wine
industry. Cin Cin!
