Vino Nino

Albert having whooped about on the whatsit isle set in the silver sea fancies the light, acidic offerings of the Vineyard Hitchens. I find them occasionally palate cleansing myself, but having labored late in the vineyards of the law, I personally favor the vintages of the Il Famiglia Scalia.

They are robust, full bodied, with great depth and clarity, and posses nice lingering kick on the finish, plus they age well. The latest offering, Vino dell'anatra, exhibits all of the standard characteristics of the Scalia vintages, but also possesses a remarkably high alcohol content, even for a robust red. While drinkable now, this wine will age nicely, with a greater development of its low chocolate notes, without losing any if its spicy heat. Best served at room temperature, accompanying the heads of your enemies.

Enjoy!
