Uva Rara means "rare grape" and is almost never found as a star it is usually part of the supporting cast. At first taste I was about to relegate this one to the trash heap of "oh no not another one that tastes like all the other cheap ones" wines but now as I go back to take a second taste (and after the wine has been opened for more than a few days) I am finding it much more enjoyable.At first sip I am thinking it is a fruitier Chianti but the mid-palate fades a bit quickly and the finish is a bit acidic. Nonetheless I am very happy to have had a chance to try this unique grape.
