Montalcino and Siena
... the bus for our ride to the first “city”, Siena (if you can call Siena that - it’s got 60,000 souls soaking wet). Busses larger than “X” are forbidden to enter center city Siena, so we tranferred to a minibus and made our way into the town. Undoubtedly, many of you have indeed visited Siena, but if you haven’t, and you find yourself in Tuscany, make it a point to go. Siena, Florence’s long-time enemy...

Attorno a Siena per Cantine Aperte
Per questa edizione di Cantine Aperte , per ridurre al minimo il margine di errore, ho scelto la provincia di Siena .
Partendo dall’idea “un bianco e un rosso ” ho scelto San Gimignano e Montalcino . Due luoghi che, appena nominati, ad ogni intenditore e appassionato, fanno venire in mente rispettivamente “Vernaccia ” e “Brunello “.

A Sugar Plum of a Wine: the 2003 Ferrari-Carano Siena
The 2003 Ferrari-Carano Siena ($16.69, Costco) is a red blend made up of Sangiovese, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Petit Verdot. As I said in an earlier post, I prefer red blends ...
