Tesco Finest Barbera D’Asti 2004
Sunday, October 5th, 2008I have just arrived back in the UK after a short sojourn in the north of Italy. Driving home from the airport, a Tesco visit was necessary to restock mundane stuff like orange juice and milk, and meaningless luxuries like food. But I couldn’t resist checking out the wine shelves for few essentials.
In Italy I tried to sample a few local wines, Piemonte being the nearest wine region. I had a couple of bottles of Grignolino, for example, the common feature of which was a slightly unpleasant salty after taste. I know what you are thinking ladies – let’s go no further.
