A house full of friends over, it’s #pizzaparty with Ooni pizza oven & Naples Dough at 60% Hydration from the pizza master Marc Vetri it’s a dream of a dough to work with. A favorite pizza wine of mine is a #supertuscan from Topografia.

As you know from my previous posts, Topografia Wines is a boutique winery located in #mendozaargentina Following the success of their limited releases, they decided to travel to different regions to collaborate and build long lasting winemaking relationships. “It had to have an intangible fit, an ethos, synergy if you will” says Carlos. All small lots, limited releases. A Super Tuscan collaboration with Roberto Cirpesso in 2019, a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Montepulciano D’Abruzzo, 18 months in French oak 300 bottles made

Deep ruby jeweled hue with gorgeous aromatics rising up from the glass - sweet plums, sour cherry, tobacco leaf, baking spice,crushed violets, mint and leather, dusty earth and a hint of balsamic and mocha. The smacking at acidity was well balanced with the fine-grained tannins. A supremely elegant medium bodied wine that displays the aromas on the palate as well tertiary barnyard, balsamic and cedar savory notes into a coffee, anise & mint lingering finish. Our smiles say it all.
