The Associazione Italiana Sommelier publishes an annual guide to Italian wines. It tastes about 20.000 wines and this year only 298 wines were considered worthy of the “5 grappoli (bunches)” award. 16 out of the 298 are from the Marche and 1 is from the winemaker Fiorini. This vineyard is at Barchi a few kilometres from San Giorgio. It scored its success with its “Colli Pesaresi Sangiovese Luigi Fiorini 2004″ wine at 20 euros a bottle.
I will try and drink as much as I can upon returning!
