1 Piazza D Angelo Limited Production Wines and Appellations The noble grapes of the world should be planted in the soil and climate in which they are best suited to grow. For centuries European Wine Producers labeled their wines geographically, understanding that the quality of the wine begins in the vineyard. In France, the Cabernet Vine is produced in the Bordeaux area, and the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Burgundy area. In Italy, the Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto grapes are produced in Piemonte and the Sangiovese and Sangiovese Grosso in Tuscany. The great wines of Europe come from small acreages. The first-growth vineyards of Bordeaux produce no more than twenty thousand cases annually from their estates. The production of La Romanée-Conti is so small that only one thousand to fifteen hundred cases per year are bottled depending on the vintage. In the United States, this concept of geographic labeling and single vineyard identification is in its embryonic stages. Some wineries, however, are beginning to identify the origin of the grape source in addition to the grape variety. Piazza D Angelo s selection of wines from California and Italy come from productions that do not exceed five thousand cases per variety. Both red and white wines should be complex (having more than one flavor). This gives your taste buds more than one opportunity to find similar taste in the wine and food. The format of this wine list has divided the noble grapes by intensity of body and flavor to assist you in selecting the wine to complement the food according to your preferences. Light Bodied White.
