Nero came to mind last night, but the only ones i could really think of were COS or Occhipinti, both having lovely spines of acid. I'm sure Levi knows of others that would fit the bill. Gulfi? Biondi?originally posted by Cliff:

Nero d'Avola, quite often.
Even the good ones?
Biondi makes a Nero d'Avola?
Cheap Nero is usually spineless. You guys drink too well.

it is somewhat telling that despite spending a while I can't think of any low acid reds I've had and enjoyed in the last few years.
In the spirit of self-experimentation, I decided to open a bottle of the 2000 Domaine du Pégaü Chateauneuf-du-Pape "Cuvée Réservée" which was quite lush and opulent but still with good acidic balance. In the scheme of things this was probably lower in acid than most wines I drink.

Would these qualify:
Ridge Santa Cruz Cabernet
Pibarnon
San Vincente Rioja or some other good Rioja or Ribero de Duero
Ridge Petite Sirah
Ridge I would expect to have acidity, even if it's a bit hidden, as would a Rioja. I can't imagine recommending a low acid version. But the Petite Sirah is a good call.
Any decent wine is going to have some acidity or else it is going to be flabby. But, I tried to come up with wines that have richness.

... and thus the problem, although I think a decent (not great) Dolcetto or Petite Syrah might do the trick.

Why not ignore reds completely and go with a white St. Joseph or Hermitage with some age at cellar temperature? Acidity isn't exactly what they bring to the party and they have plenty of density and texture.originally posted by Cliff:

Is the insanely delicious Guttarolo 2007 Gioia del Colle Primitivo a low acid wine, technically ?

I want to drink something insanely delicious. Where can I check my sanity at the doorstep?
Perhaps fodder for a new thread.

Isn't that just an Italian Zinfandel?

Only have 7th grade genetics, and one generation removed at that.
