WHAT: Rocca delle Macie Nobile di Montepulciano 2006 (red) Rating: NNNN
WHERE: Tuscany, Italy
WHY: The bunga bunga burger: Form a patty of ground beef around a nugget of Gorgonzola cheese. Cook just enough to promote cheese oozing. Serve on focaccia topped with arugula and radicchio in Modena balsamic dressing. Such a sandwich would match this Tuscan’s beautiful, balanced sensations of black tea, red fruits and grippy structure. Also suitable for aging. (The wine, not the burger.)
PRICE: 750 ml/$24.95
AVAILABILITY: At selected Vintages outlets as of July 23 (product #232488)
