Faldeos Nevados Bonarda 2004
Sunday, November 18th, 2007Anyone got an update on Diego Maradona? Regular readers know that I hate the Argies with a passion normally reserved for mindless football thugs. However, when it comes to wine I try to make allowances, and it just so happens that my thuggery dissipates faster than the bubbles in a bottle of cava, once an open bottle of Argentinean wine is placed on the table.
I love the Faldeos Nevados Malbec, so I really should have tried the Bonarda from the same producer earlier than this. Bonarda, is not, although it sounds so, the name of an Italian porn star, but an indigenous grape of the cheating football nation. Albeit not the cheating football nation that brought you the Mano de Dios, it originated in Italy! Enough of the football insults, what was the wine like?
