Barberani Polago
For some of you, summer has already passed away leaving you
with crisp mornings and fall jackets.
For some of the rest of us, it’s just giving up its final grasp on the
weather with eighty-degree days and foggy mornings. Here in Atlanta, we can go from a high of
eighty to a high of sixty in a few days.
While the Mother Nature is making it difficult to decide
what to wear in the morning, it allows for a few more nights on the back porch
sipping warm weather red wine.
Barberani Polago is exactly one of those wines.
The wine is a blend of Sangiovese and Montepulciano, light
enough for warm weather, but still heavy enough if fall’s chill has started to
settle in. It has a nice balance of
tannins and it walks the tightrope line between bold and light flavors
nicely.
I get a little herbaceousness off the nose, which caught me
off guard. The flavors are filled with
tart cherry and oak. It won’t warm you
up on a cold night like a heavy cab or zinfandel, but it’s perfect for the
just-starting-to-get-chilly nights of autumn.
