A blog about tasting wine, from someone who has tasted that wine. Or at least looked at it. Or copied a picture of it from the internet.

Biferno Rosso Riserva, 2007

<span class="b">Biferno Rosso Riserva, 2006</span> (Camillo de Lellis)My first wine from The Wine Society, this is an Italian reserva from 2007 with montepulciano as the dominant grape. Wonderfully smooth and a fine accompaniment to a VAST plate of paste bake, it is generally pleasing warm and yummy. Don't let the bottle and description fool you however, it's less a big powerful red and more of a subtle little beauty, with mellow undercurrents and merlotesque reminiscences of fruit. It couldn't be much more drinkable - I've just had the lot. OM NOM NOM.
