I’ve been to some tough tastings before, but this one … Tough tastings are the ones where you have trouble picking out a few good wines to talk about – but this one was the other way around, there were so many good wines it’s hard to know where to begin. I’m talking about wines from such famous, or is that infamous, Italian houses like Antinori, Michele Chiarlo, Biondi Santi, Donnafugata, Masi and a dozen more. From drink now wines to ageable beasts that’ll take many years to soften, this was a very exciting, interesting and eye opening tasting … after my two hours in the room tasting and taking notes I can say with certainty that the Italians still got IT.
