Wine of the Day

Lagone

Aia Vecchia

From Toscana

My thoughts: rather tannic - dry - only slightly fruity - maybe a bit like dried apricots - strong but bland if that makes any sense & not my favorite for the price of $16.99 although it is drinkable & won't go to waste

(It has to be pretty bad for me to simply dump it - it would be like pouring $ down the drain!)

Maybe needs to be enjoyed with a certain food?

(I generally stick to a rule of $10 or less - although this is becoming more difficult to achieve these days)

A suggestion from the wine gurus at Central Market here in Austin

Overall - not bad if you prefer dry tannic reds with only a little fruit which is not even like fresh fruit but more like dried - lots of dryness
