2003 Fattoria Capannacce Rossa della Maremma Toscana

Viva Italia!

As I explore the world of wine, I’m continually amazed by how much I like a good Italian red. The 2003 Rossa della Maremma Toscana, a “Super Tuscan,” is no exception. I would call it lively, to borrow a term from Robert Parker’s helpful glossary, with fruitiness too complex for this novice to deconstruct.

We shared a bottle with a couple friends while gorging on authentic Neapolitan pizza from Tutta Bella. It was an excellent combination. The spicy tomato sauce complemented the lively fruit flavors nicely. My only wish was for a second bottle. $15 at Urban Vines.
