05.16.13 Montepulciano - An Afternoon at Nottola Winery (Part 2)

Enjoy this wine travel post from Gina Gregory, Premier Vineyard Tours:
To see Montepulciano – An Afternoon at Nottola Winey – Part 1>

All this talk about noble wine was making me thirsty! Fortunately for us, Massimo had quite the lunch in-store for us. Our tasting took place in their restaurant located right on the property. It is a part of their hospitality business, Villa di Nottola. To our delight we were joined by the owner’s daughter, Giulia Giomarelli and her boyfriend Paolo. Our lunch of local specialties was kicked off with a very fresh (it was bottled two days before) white blend of vermentino and pinot bianco called PerGloria. A perfect accompaniment to our medley of crostini with assorted toppings.
