Highly alcoholic?

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article previously quoted Oz Clarke’s description of Perricone as ‘full bodied, deeply colored, highly alcoholic’. This is not my experience. The Caruso and Minini wine is widely available (Marks and Spenser used to sell it in the UK); it’s 13.5% and tastes strongly of raspberries. Other versions on sale include Orestiadi (14%, ‘packed with red berries’); Paolini (12.5%, ‘bursting with juicy red fruit’); and Tasca D’Almerita (13%, ‘mainly blackberry, raspberry and violet’). For that matter the minimum alcohol level of 11% hardly suggests a highly alcoholic wine (for Barolo the figure is 13%). So, though I’m no expert, I’d hesitate to place much weight on Clarke’s description. Colin.champion (talk) 20:34, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
