Italian wines with David Lynch

Love his movies unfortunately it wasnt that David. Very nice guy though with a very impressive Italian portfolio. It was interesting that I had all these Italians come in and I just wasnt in the mood for these earthy, saddleleathery wines but what can you do. ;0

Rizzardi Valpolicella 2006 a lighter style, pretty berry flavors but a bit rustic in the finish,

Valle D'Oro Montepulciano d Abruzzo. we are seeing that the region of Abruzzo is producing some interesting lighter style wines. For a long time these were seen as the red headed step child for Chianti. Again touch of earth on nose, saddleleather. very purple in color and some nice light fruit.

Salentino Primitivo 2006 light good fruit, the Italian version of zinfandel but not really

Chiaretto Rose by Rizzordi strawberry in the glass. pretty... just the right amount of sweetness.

Verdicchio by someone who I didnt write the name down for but it was juicy with a nice touch of acidity at the end. Will also be in the Corner with some nice press
