Wine: Tormaresca Neprica
I haven't blogged about this because it was lost in the notebook I took with me to the restaurant, but one of the things I had the pleasure of discovering a few weeks ago was a wine called Tormaresca Neprica, which was odd because it was an Italian wine served at a French restaurant.
But it was still amazing. It's dark red, thick, and not oaky at all. It has a gentle, floral smell with no acridness at all. It's made with grapes called "negroamoro" and "primitivo," neither of which I've ever heard of before, and is blended with some cab-sav. Pretty good stuff, all around, although I wince at the food miles.
I've got to see if I can find some locally.
