Un Montecompatri da "Promised Land"

In those days I was releasing the cell from a flood of text messages that I had blocked the memory of Sim and I found this message saved in the drafts folder.
"Roman virtues, Tenuta Le Quinte, Upper Montecompatri 2008" .
And I remembered.
the long wait outside the Olimpico, the voice of Bruce bouncing against Monte Monte Mario with an irreverent echoes of the hunting band, Trastevere and the bandana in travertine.

DINNER WITH LITTLE STEVEN
Sunday, July 19, 2009, Stadio Olimpico in Rome . First of three stages of the new Italian tour by Bruce Springsteen with the E Street Band, just one year after the monstrous Magic Tour Start at about 22, because of the combination of the world swimming scene in the adjacent Olympic Village. Concerto good but not epic, because of the long nerve-wracking waiting and bad acoustics. But as usual the boss is generous and between new and old warhorses and repechages surprise , send the stadium into a frenzy.
So much so that, in the wake of the exaltation of the night before, on Monday we spend chasing the band holed up in ' Hotel De Russie , a stone's throw from Piazza del Popolo.
Ed è così che, tra una fugace stretta di mano a Charlie Giordano e una pacca sulla spalla a Max Weimberg, un autista ci fa la soffiata: Bruce e Little Steven andranno a cena in un noto ristorante a Trastevere, dalle parti di Ponte Cestio.
Risultato: dopo aver battuto in lungo e in largo le numerose trattorie e pizzerie del quartiere tiberino, mia sorella ci dà la dritta che aspettavamo:
"Da quella vertina si vede un tipo con la bandana...".
Eccolo. Little Steven. E...Bruce?
L'insegna è quella dell' Osteria La Gensola .
Entriamo e veniamo accompagnati dal cameriere nella saletta interna, osservando di soppiatto la tavolata del chitarrista newyorkese alla ricerca di un suo look and, above all, his boss. None. Little is alone, with friends. But that's cool ... the same restaurant for dinner to Little Steven!

Frascati but ... I wanted to live the Montecompatri!
The dinner was excellent, the room lovely and very friendly staff.
More details, via a wonderful spaghetti with cheese and pepper and un'amatriciana to scream, remember them, this was the state of trance at the thought that probably a little later, I met a rock legend. But
me the name of the wine are listed on the phone. I asked a
Frascati Superiore but the sommelier, the owner's son, was able to trim another label with the blatant spontaneity that only the Romans and Neapolitans are able to have.
But I was fine, because I discovered a great white wine for a name I had not tasted: Montecompatri Doc Superiore "Roman Virtues" 2008, Tenuta Le Quinte .
captivating blend of all white grapes typical of Lazio, the dotted Malvasia, Trebbiano, and buxom Bonvino , is the nose with fragrant aromas of peach, honeysuckle, fresh herbs and almonds, driven by a delicate ethereal breath very seductive . Feelings that come back in a body placed in the mouth very fresh and good structure for a wine that invites you to the last sip and says goodbye con un appetitoso retrogusto fruttato e ammandorlato. In enoteca si trova a circa 10 euro, per una gradazione alcolica di 13,5%.
E Little Steven? Beh, addolcito dalla buona cena e sedotto dal vino romano, si è concesso per sigaretta e foto di rito, con tanto di battuta ironica quando gli abbiamo detto che l'indomani ci saremmo rivisti a Torino e, due giorni dopo ancora, a Udine.
"You're crazy, my friends!" .

A spasso per la Bussia

Ventuno ettari in Monforte d'Alba , con vista sulle vigne di Prunotto poco più in basso e, a voltar lo sguardo verso higher up the hill, the beautiful estate of Aldo Conterno , the company Bussia Soprana is one of the rare reality of quantity, as well as quality, land of Barolo. One hundred thousand bottles of Barolo year, produced from grapes of vines Colonel , Mosconi, Gabutti and Bussia , and numbers from the various large companies including Barbera, Dolcetto and Langhe Rosso Zenit, by Nebbiolo, Barbera and Cabernet Sauvignon. Just the topic of
cut was at the center of a heated debate between a visiting fellow in the company and Silvano Casiraghi, an entrepreneur since 1992, Monza holds Bussia Soprana.
Grant that even in a large single-varietal wines such as Barolo can finish a small percentage of other grapes in the vineyard finished the nursery maybe by mistake, it could make sense once more. Everyone feels entitled to collect the grapes and make wine all together. Today, the specifications do not allow even more that 5% margin, which in many cases, perhaps even tacitly reached 15-20%. "What happened to Montalcino Sangiovese" cut "merlot" reminds us Silvano.
Today, however, with the new electronic methods of recognition grapes in the vineyard, there is little to be clever. Either you adapt or you risk pilloried in the media.
why some as big as the same in Barbaresco Angelo Gaia, have chosen to create versions of the Langhe supertuscan , in which local and international grape varieties come together in products invisible to traditionalists but of undoubted quality.

tasting. But great Barolo Barbera!
When placed in the mouth and pour a sip of Barolo 2006, the youngest one on the market today, screwed up eyes and Casiraghi us a clue:
"Drink today 2006 is committing infanticide" . Exactly. The feeling is clear that I never committed a crime, as he took a sour apple in the Garden of Eden . The fact remains that it is all too obvious that this is a wine of enormous potential, and flies to the imagination when, in a few years, the tannins and acidity will be developed will be reduced to create an ideal environment to enhance all the infinite variety of flavor and scent typical of the grape. And find it surprising
still young and evolving, ten years after harvest. The 2000 , indeed gives a wine a little cranky and spigolosetto, although already a great personality.
The real pleasure starts from 1998 down. From 12-14 anni in avanti si può capire se un Barolo è degno del nome che porta. E i vari cru dell'azienda sono decisamente prodotti "a lungo termine". Potenti, strutturati, complessi ed eleganti, le migliori annate sono la 97-98-99, ma se abbiamo soldi e spazio in cantina la 2006 merita un investimento. Casiraghi giura che tra qualche anno sarà un vino fuori dal comune, figlio di una grande annata.
Noi ci fidiamo, ci lasciamo trasportare ad assaggiar l'uva matura tra i filari protetti da reti antigrandine garantite 15 anni, e ce ne torniamo in azienda per gli acquisti. Tutti si lanciano sul Barolo. Io no, con le poche finanze rimaste mi concedo qualche bottiglia della Barbera d'Alba Doc Mosconi 2007 bevuta a pranzo.
12 euro per bottle, is a magnificent example of how these parts of the casks and barrels barbera can come from God, although aged only in steel.
only flaw of the day, apart from the 50 euro thrown at a restaurant, visit the winery. Not reached.
