Combining New World wine making techniques and an ancient Italian grape variety, Farnese has turned out a rich and tannic $600 red wine.
The Montepulciano grape is widely planted in Italy but not well known outside of the peninsula nation. This variety can produce concentrated, robust wines with big tannins. The 1998 Farneto Valley Montepulciano is a fine manifestation of Farnese's wine philosophy － friendly New World style wines with Italian charactoristics. This is a deep ruby red colored wine offering a slightly spicy bouquet. Flavors of prunes and blackberries are balanced with very robust tannins. Novice wine drinkers may find the tannins a bit overwhelming but experienced drinkers will appreciate their fine structure. The wine has impressive weight and roundness in the mouth. For a modest price this is quite a big wine. Match this wine with Grilled Chicken, Roasted Capons and Roasted Goose. This wine also matches nicely with Tandori Style Sausages and Tandori Chicken. Serve this wine at 18 C°.
In 1582, Princess Margherita of Austria married the Prince of Farnese and started cultivating grape vines on her Italian estate. Her wines graced the tables of the European nobility for hundreds of years. The modern owners still use the name Farnese and are known for producing high quality, reasonably priced wines.
