TRAVERSO'S NEW ARRIVALS FROM TRENTINO "ITALY'S NORTHERN FRONTIER" WINE TASTING & SPECIALS THIS SATURDAY APRIL 24 NOON TO 3PM
Join us this Saturday afternoon for a tasting of new arrival wines from TRENTINO ITALY. Just off the truck and into our store. Trentino is famous for crisp Pinot Grigio and lovely Pinot Nero. The Trentino Pinot Nero is a great alternative to the high-alcohol fruity Pinots that have flooded the local market. There is also a nice little Cab that is an excellent value. Import reps from VIAS Wine will be on hand to discuss these new wines.
All featured wines will be 10% OFF this Saturday only! We can hold or ship. Contact us today. 707-542-2530 info@traversos.com
FEATURED POURS
2008 LECHTHALER PINOT GRIGIO TRENTINO OUR PRICE $14.99
It presents a pale yellow straw color with copper reflections. It is delicate fruit bouquet and pleasing to the nose with a hint of pear. It has a dry, harmonious and fine flavor with a good balance. An excellent aperitif, it goes well with some typical Mediterranean dishes, grilled trout and boiled meat.
2008 MASO POLI PINOT GRIGIO TRENTINO OUR PRICE $20.99
Maso Poli’s 2008 Pinot Grigio is a single-vineyard bottling that was fermented half in oak and half in stainless steel. The use of oak has given the wine an added dimension of weight, but without detracting from its varietal expression of perfumed white peaches, mint and flowers. This pretty Pinot Grigio offers excellent length and a clean, refreshing finish.
2007 LECHTHALER PINOT NERO TRENTINO OUR PRICE $14.99
Characteristic with a red-berry fruit scented bouquet. Soft dryness with a pleasing finish. Best paired with first dishes of pasta, risotto and also poultry.
"The 2007 Pinot Nero reveals ripe, candied fruits, earthiness and licorice with no hard edges and lovely balance. Pinot Noir is a notoriously fickle variety, and perhaps the hardest grape to cultivate well at this price point, so this is an especially remarkable wine for the money." - Wine Advocate
2008 MASO POLI PINOT NERO TRENTINO OUR PRICE $25.99
It presents a rather pale, ruby red color, while at the same time it is warm and lively. The flagrance is intense, fine and well defined. It bears a hint of wild fruit, and in particular black currants. It goes really well with all types of meat with a delicate flavor and in particular fillets, chops and grilled meat.
2007 TORRE DI LUNA CABERNET SAUVIGNON TRENTINO OUR PRICE $13.99
GREAT VALUE! Intense ruby red color. On the nose it presents clean and intense aromas of fresh, ripe fruit, red berries and hints of spice. In the mouth there is a good correspondence to the nose, with a good structure and nice tanginess. Tannins are smooth and sweet with a nice long finish. It pairs very well with all red meat dishes, game and mature cheeses.
