  Never had a wine from Cinque Terre, but with the gorgeous landscape and Rosenthal on the back label, i really wanted to like it, but it seemed either over the hill, a product of casual attention to vinification or simply a grape combination i did not like. The first half of the bottle was ok, though not terribly impressive, but the second half brought forth resiny and petrol nuances on the nose. I am assuming it was merely too old, given that the color was trending to amber and notes of oxidation were evident. i have no idea what the longevity is of this wine, but 4+ years may be pushing it.

  Never had a Cinque Terre before so had no basis for comparison. I was expecting something light and crisp but actually this had quite some depth to it. Reminded me of a pinot blanc with its wet hay aromas and quite thick texture; herbal, saline. I liked it.

  So I'm thinking, this price point, a foreign sounding grape (Bosco - 60%), wrapped in a Rosenthal label, this should be beautiful and/or interesting, right? It's a pretty wine but just like Bisson's Glera, I can't quite find the romance. Wild white flowers and violets. Toasted crackers and citrus. Almonds. Mushroom. Potting soil. Cinque Terra is well rounded and soft structured. Pretty, but uninspired.
