When attending a large portfolio tasting there are usually several stand out wines, wines that make the whole experience worth while. At the recent Wildman tasting in NYC there were some head turning wines. One of them was La Stoppa Ageno Bianco 2003. I was familiar with La Stoppa, although not extremely. This particular wine I had never tasted. It is trebbiano and malvasia. Wow. It is supremely aromatic, woodsy and exotic. Balanced. Other than a Valentini Trebbiano, like nothing I had ever tasted. It was a head turner, stopped me in my tracks wine. I quickly thought of Paul Greico, who loves these types of wines. The satisfying, funny thing is...when I ran into Paul an hour later I said "Paul you have to go over and taste the La Stoppa..." he finished my sentence "Ageno Bianco". He was all over that wine already. It is a wine lovers wine for certain. Try it out.
