this one comes with a reward! And ladies, beware-- this purse will let you enjoy your wine just about anywhere.
The nose is filled with fresh cherry fruit rounded off with a touch of sea salt and light spice. The palate is a tasty blend of mixed red fruits, from kriek lambic and fresh cherries to currants and pomegranates. The fruit is kept lively by a nice brace of acidity leading to a tasty, lingering finish. While we initially weren't sure what to expect, upon seeing the innovative, eco-friendly packaging (in its purse-shaped glory, no less!), the juice inside the container is downright solid. And, it's a 1.5 Liter purse (equals two full 'standard' bottles) that's been vaccum-sealed with an ingenious pour-spout at one end; this means the wine will last for many weeks once opened.

evidence that the decision to fortify Volpaia was due not only to military reasons; it was also to protect the rural economy of the area, which was already devoted in the main to the growing of grapes and making of wines.
The interiors of its ancient houses, churches, underground passages and de-consecrated churches have been discreetly converted into wine cellars, bottling plants and olive presses up to the ceiling in the latest equipment, all connected by an amazing underground “wineduct.” With their history and background, we were not surprised to find a wine this good; the low price, however, was quite the bonus!
“Citto” in the Tuscan dialect means “young boy.” In the tradition of Bordeaux Châteaux — Mouton Rothchild has its Mouton Cadet, Cheval Blanc has its Petit Cheval — Castello di Volpaia has its Citto. A blend of 65% Sangiovese and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a great wine for spring dishes as well as early summer fare and potential outdoor dining scenarios.
The nose is a warm mélange of brown spices, strawberry tea and mixed red berries. The fresh fruit theme carries over to the palate as more strawberry and cherry flavors meld with black pepper and spice box, mineral and a touch of earth, rising toward a rich, rewarding finish. The quality-to-price ratio is out-of-the-world on this fantastic wine-- give it a try this month!
