Small VIneyards with Jay Hutcheson/Major Brands

Small Vineyards showcases smaller producers in Italy and soon Spain

Trevisiol Extra Dry Prosecco NV original hint of banana.. hint of sweet and minerality.. still a little dull on the finish but nature of the beast I think

Tre Donna Moscato NV some effervesence..not cloyingly sweet.. stone fruits..very pleasant

Marchetti Verdicchio.. 2008.. the nipple wine...thanks to the label.. light yellow, light floral, citrus, and creamy. great alternative to pinot grigio.

La Quercia Montepulciano 08.. a fruit forward style opposed to the wine tried yesterday... organically grown..low yield.. dark color.. a little stinky feet but lots of fruit on the palate.. no vegetal...very ncie..

Parazzeta Sara Rosso Toscano 2008 sangiovese with cilliagolo (sp) cherry nose, one dimensional... earth saddle leather nose...not terribly interesting

Sanguineti ChiantiDOCG 2007 traditional sang.nose, juicy soft red fruit and a hint of licorice.. nice

Sanguineti Brunello 2003 beautiful nose of earth and roses. mouthfilling and delicious.. supple and really not as fruit forward as I thought the 03 would be...heat wave year.
