Here's a nice light-bodied Italian red wine from the Valpolicella DOC. This is soft, fruity wine, very much in keeping with the regional style, and a good deal at ~$7. It offers cherry and violet notes on the nose and follows through with cherry and ripe plum in the mouth.
It's not as robust as a Chianti, but is nevertheless a good food wine. Think hors d'oeuvres rather than main course.

ReplyDeleteYou might have gotten a corked bottle, by which I mean the cork failed and the wine became horribly oxidized. That would account for the acetic acid - vinegar - that you're tasting. I would bring the bottle back to your local F&E and ask for a new one.
ReplyDeleteIf you still don't like it, well, Valpolicella might not be for you.
