Jumping at Vino Nobile

It sometimes happens that you try the wine, love it, talk about it, dream about it, and one day you have a chance to try it again and the wine doesn't really live up to the (way too) high expectation.
It's not wine's fault. My wild imagination is the one to be blamed.
This sometimes makes me scared to drink wine I liked for the second time, but, hey, you live only once, don't let the fear control your precious life!

So I jumped at the opportunity to try Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from TENUTA DI GRACCIANO DELLA SETA for the second time. 
The tasting took place at PERBACCO in San Francisco.








There were Rosso di Montepulciano 2014, Vino Nibile di Montepulciano 2012, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Reserva 2011.

I tried them in February at Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Tasting and really liked them. This time, I'm glad I jumped: they were BETTER than I remembered!
Maybe because I had them with food this time.
Rosso was light and went good with seafood appetizers, and Vino Nobile and Reserva enhanced the flavor of meat dish, but cut out the grease. This is good for people like me who like the flavor of meat but can't take the greasiness. I would love to have Reserva with lamb.

The winery's owner Sig. Giorgio della Seta was at the tasting. I told him that I liked his wine at the tasting in February. He said that letting people know about his wine through media or advertisement was important, but when people chose his wine among others without any previous knowledge, he felt really happy. I like to hear these comments. They are subtle, but show strong love and pride for their own wine.
