We all know that some of the best wines are made with limited production. We also know how frustrating it can be when our favorite wines become out of stock. After only a few short months (four to be exact), one of the best Tuscan blends ABC has to offer is back in our stores, the 2006 Querciarossa Fulgente Maremma!!

I couldn't have been more excited. This satisfying blend of Sangiovese, Caniolo, Colorino, Montepulcaion, Alicante, Ciliegiolo, and Teroldeco (a mouthful, I know) comes from the Maremma area in southwest Tuscany. Limestone and clay soil, help shape this medium-bodied, inky black joyride of a wine. Production of Fulgente is limited to 70 hectoliters per hectare, and with lots of thirsty wine connoisseurs interested in this fantastic blend, it doesn't stick around long.  

Being in the know, and forecasting that supplies of Fulgente would run out quickly, I stocked up. Aromatics of dark fruits, vanilla, earth and mineral called my name. Flavors of blackberry, licorice, chocolate and herbs beckoned me from my wine cellar. Medium body, lingering finish, perfect to be paired with stewed meats, shellfish, seasoned cheeses, wild boar and polenta, I shed a single tear as I opened my last bottle... Then I walked into work at ABC. "Heart be still!" I exclaimed as I looked at our warehouse quantity. At $21.99 this is an absolute must buy. Get 'em while they're hot and before they're gone...
