We have drunk more bottles of this wine than either of us care to admit (or can remember). At around $17 a bottle, I Perazzi is attractive to the budget conscious. Don't be deceived by La Mozza's creative names; this is a Morellino di Scansano.
EXPERIENCE
Though the cork and aroma don't offer a whole lot, the taste does not disappoint. Fruity at first with a nice medium body and a hint of alcohol in the finish, the wine offers a very well rounded and balanced experience. The one thought we keep coming back to is that this is just a pleasant wine to drink all the way through. It stands on its own, offers an interesting tasting, and can also be easily paired with food.
VERDICT
GOOD AND CHEAP Balance, balance, balance. La Mozza has it right with this wine. It is just easy to drink. When you consider the price tag, the wine goes well above what you'd ever expect. If Quintarelli's Valpolicella is our Ferrari 250 GT, this is our Fiat 124 Sport Spider. Bottom line, find this wine, buy it and enjoy it.
