Even when I lived in the Abruzzo region of Italy this bottle was a rare sight.  So what it was doing on the shelf here in Menlo Park… is beyond me.  But if you ever see it, buy it!  It is smooth and lush, a big wine with a subdued personality.  Like most great producers Pasetti also has a 2nd wine at half the price, which simply carries the label “Pasetti.” I’m not positive but I think the Testarossa is their “grand vin” (never heard the Italians use a descriptor for “first wine” so I’ll just stick with the French term).
