Wine Skeptic

Tuttobene rosso

I’m back at the bargain bin, and I think Costco serves this up for 10 bucks, which is putting them toward the top of our ‘list’ on trying out some interesting wines at a great price point. For this effort I would swear in a blind tasting that this was a Chateauneuf dePape. A barnyard nose with bits of inkiness and soil, or iodine. And taste, that underlying squid ink flavor but mouth coating and rich, and sort of delicious, with some dark plums to counter the overall stinkiness. With a good amount of merlot like fruit ( I suppose its sangiovese, but wow). I’m going on the bargain train for this, since I have been burnt many times by 30-40 buck Pape’s, this really delivers a good full experience. I could say the flavor profiles may not appeal to all, but hey, 10 bucks, its worth the experience.
