PWC Tuscany Night

We had a Tuscany themed wine dinner the other night. We had a couple each of Chianti, Brunello as well as Cabernet based reds. I had thought of getting a couple of Vino Nobile de Montepulciano as well, but we didn't have enough participants for more wines, nor was Vino Nobile easy to find. A prosecco had to do service for the welcome sparkler as I had not found what Tuscany has to offer in this department. Although the Club offers an organic Pinot Grigio from Sant'Antimo on their wine list, I fancied the Vermentino from Bolgheri a touch more. AS for dessert, a Vin Santo Toscano from Frescobaldi wrapped up the evening.

The star of the night was always going to be the Sassicaia 2012, though one of the Brunellos gave it a run for its money. Both need separate entries to do justice to them.
