A warm, Mediterranean vine-growing paradise, in Abruzzo, the distance from mountains to seaside is relatively short. The Apenniness, which run through the center of Italy, rise up on its western side while the Adriatic Sea defines its eastern border. |
Wine composition tends to two varieties: Abruzzo’s red grape, Montepulciano and its white, Trebbiano. Montepulciano d’Abruzzo can come in a quaffable, rustic and fruity style that generally drinks best young. It is also capable of making a more serious style, where oak aging tames its purely wild fruit. |
Trebbiano in Abruzzo also comes in a couple of varieties. Trebbiano Toscana makes a simple and fruity white. However when meticulously tended, the specific Trebbiano d’Abruzzo-based white wines can be complex and long-lived. |
In the region’s efforts to focus on better sites and lower yields, vine acreage has decreased in recent years while quality has increased. |

The perfect intersection of bright red fruit and savory earthiness, Sangiovese is among Italy's elite red grape varieties and is responsible for the best red wines of Tuscany. While it is best known as the chief component of Chianti, it is also the main grape in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and reaches the height o... |
Elsewhere throughout Italy, Sangiovese plays an important role in many easy-drinking, value-driven red blends and on the French island of Corsica, under the name Nielluccio, it produces excellent bright and refreshing red and rosé wines with a personality of their own. Sangiovese has also enjoyed success growing in... |
Tasting Notes for Sangiovese |
Sangiovese is a dry , red wine with a medium body and qualities of tart cherry, plum, sun dried tomato, fresh tobacco and herbs. High-quality, well-aged examples can take on tertiary notes of smoke, leather, game, potpourri and dried fruit. Corsican Nielluccio is distinguished by a subtle perfume of dried flowers. |
Perfect Food Pairings for Sangiovese |
Sangiovese is the ultimate pizza and pasta red—its high acidity, moderate alcohol, and fine-grained tannins create a perfect symbiosis with tomato-based dishes, braised vegetables, roasted and cured meat, hard cheese and anything off the barbecue. |
Sommelier Secrets for Sangiovese |
Although it is the star variety of Tuscany, cult-classic “Super-Tuscan” wines may actually contain no Sangiovese at all! Since the 1970s, local winemakers have been producing big, bold wines as a blend of one or more of several international varieties—usually Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot or Syrah—with... |

5 surprising details about the Dallas Cowboys' $1.5 billion insta-city in Frisco, The Star |
A fetish for orderliness and cleanliness? A locker room shaped like a football? A massive hot tub named "Lake Landry?" Yes, and architecture critic Mark Lamster is just getting started. |
Dallas Morning News architecture critic Mark Lamster has reviewed the Dallas Cowboys' glitzy new complex in Frisco. Or, as he describes it, "a genuine capital, a shimmering football Oz that emerges like a spectral vision from the blank canvas of North Texas nothingness. It is a miniature city, a 91-acre branded corpora... |
Here, five of the quirkiest details via Mark Lamster: |
1. The Star is fetishistic in its orderliness and in its cleanliness. |
Among employees, Jerry Jones is known for his eye for stray items of offense. Every last blade of grass is properly trimmed. There is no litter in this city of artifice, nothing to besmirch or distract from the dream of perfection that is the Cowboys ideal. |

2. No opportunity goes un-monetized here. |
Virtually all public spaces have a corporate sponsor attached: Ford Field, Tostitos Championship Plaza, the Dr Pepper Ring of Honor. Street names include the Avenue of Champions, Winning Drive and Hall of Fame Lane. Which is to say, The Star in Frisco is preoccupied with its own success. |

3. The Star is preoccupied with driving. |
That a development in Frisco would be autocentric is understandable, even necessary, but the degree to which the car rules the urban spaces of the Star is unfortunate. Garages might have been pushed to the corners of the development, so that the center could become a car-free pedestrian village. Instead, they empty int... |

4. The placement of Huddle is a fail. |
Tom Friedman's monumental stainless-steel sculpture of gridiron warriors locking arms could have been a dramatic centerpiece for the complex, a gathering point and natural backdrop for a million selfies. Instead, it sits by itself, disconnected from its surroundings in the middle of a traffic circle. |

5. The locker room is shaped like what? |
The Cowboys' locker room is shaped like a football, its form being the only concession to kitsch in the complex, and then only barely. As it turns out, an ellipse is an effective shape for a large locker room, as its enveloping form promotes a sense of community and makes it easy to focus player attention without comp... |

Bonus round: |
A hot tub the size of a suburban swimming pool, just one of several water baths, is known as "Lake Landry." |
OK, this is not the "Lake Landry" hot tub. Rather, it's the pool at the Cowboys Fit fitness center at The Star, but you get the idea. |
