7 July 2024 On this Sunday, we went to a restaurant highly recognized in a small town. As always, it was my obligation to pick wine for the four of us. I usually choose a Barbaresco because I do not know what the Chef uses for the plates that he creates.
As we walked into, the wines, standing up, were on a table in the dining room with no air conditioning and the windows open on a almost hot day. I looked through the wine list and found some unknown Barbarescos from the 2016 which was a very good for the grapes.
Our lunch was quite good but the problem was the wine. As I said, I do not know where the bottles were stored other than on the table that you pass as you go into the dining room.
The wine, when opened, was very good as I expected to be. However, toward the end of the bottle (about 45 minutes), the grape taste disappeared. All was left was the taste of the acid.
My question for the producer of the wine would be the way the 2016 Martinenga Barbaresco would not hold to the end of the bottle for all the bottles or does the restaurant have an incorrect storage area?
I would be pleased to hear from the Producer to know about the wine. We would be very interested in the wine for our collection if the 2016 is still good and the producer has some other varies of the Martinenga.
