As I've noted previously, one of our favorite stops at Vinitaly was in the Veneto area where we met some great people such as Tiziano Accordini. The Accordini family's wines can be found in some places in the US, but not everywhere. I was able to pick up a bottle of the 2004 Stefano Accordini Valpolicella in Jacksonville a few months ago and finally cracked it open recently.
This wine was a little slow to open up, but once it did there was plenty to like. The wine certainly wasn't the big gun that their Amarones are, but it was a solid Valpolicella. I wish this wine was available here, as it would certainly make it into my rotation of everyday drinkers - at about $14, it is certainly well-priced. It's a great wine to drink with pastas, pizza, or most anything that doesn't require a robust full-bodied wine.
