NV Canaletto Prosecco
The Venetian aperitif of choice in the 19th century. Prosecco produces wines that are light, with orchard tree fruit & bright acidity, giving a light lemon / grapefruit character. A little residual sugar is usually left in or added at dosage to plump the wines up a bit. This wine has green apple and herb notes, plus a little wisteria & acacia on the nose, with a little sweetness, and the classic "toast" of sparkling wines that comes from contact with the yeasts as the wines undergo a secondary fermentation in the bottle to produce the bubbles. There is some mineral present, and for the style, this wine has a long finish. Impressive but easy-going.

2005 La Gerla Rosso di Montalcino
Very nice bottle of wine. Black Cherry fruit with tobacco and a little bit of smoke. Medium bodied, med + acid, med- tannins. Our Rosso is obtained by de-classing wine that was destined to become Brunello and had therefore met all the severe rules. It presents fresh and fragrant notes typical of high quality young wines, with a lot of fruit that melts into notes of berries and sweet violet. The wine has made in stainless steel. For $22, it's not bad. Our price is 10% less. It has nice balance and a lot of fruit with nice tannins and finish. Loose grape pressing; temperature controlled fermentation; 2 rackings every year; slow continuous flow bottling in sterilized conditions. This has a nice nose, displaying plum jam and hints of passion fruit and flowers. Medium-bodied, with intense, focused fruit and a fresh finish.
