While dining out in Capitola, CA at a quite nice Roman-influenced
trattoria (named Bella Roma Caffe), we had a bottle of a 2001 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano that was very decent, showing typical Sangiovese dusty cherry fruit, excellent depth and structure. The problem was that the name I wrote down in my notes was "Tra[o]velini," and I can find no sign of any winery by either name on the Consorzio's website, nor can I find any trace of it on the Web. I know that it was produced by a member of the Consorzio, as it had the label affixed to the cork, so I suspect that it may be an export-only label (I remember seeing the name of an Azienda Agricola someone on the label, too, along with what looked like a vineyard designation). The wine was imported by Tuttovino of Richmond, CA (my childhood home town, as it happens), but scant information about them is available on the Web, either. Push comes to shove, I'll contact the restaurant for details, but I was wondering if anyone here had any knowledge of this wine or could point me in the right direction.
