Poggio Ulivelo 2004: Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Is it wrong to drink every night?
Is it wrong to look forward to meals so?
No?
What's that you say?
...
When in Rome?

Ah... Si. Si si si.

So this wine, my purchase from the winery, is not bad. It's a 2004, which is a good year, remember, and has a fresh tartness to it. The bouquet is light, and almost... pine scented. Not too alcoholic to the nose like some of these other wines. The color is a bit like stage blood - a sort of purpled brick-red.

We started commedia today, with our new teacher, Paola.
Our first character was Pantalone, the miserly old patriarch, father of the female inamorata, obsessed with sex and money. His back is straight, knees bent slightly, feet in first, chin thrust forward. He leads with his pointed nose and takes tiny steps forward. When he turns, his head turns first, and then the whole rest of the body turns. He dances with one bent leg at a time. (The way it should be.)

Okay, time to see what Riccardo has made for us tonight...
