Lagerung bis zu 25 Jahre. Dekantieren Sie ihn bis zu 2 Stunden vor dem Servieren. Sassontino ist eine unvergleichliche norditalienische Interpretation der Sangiovese-Traube. Im Glas leuchtet er in einem brillanten Rubinrot und duftet nach roten Sauerkirschen, Blaubeerkonfitüre, säuerlichen Pflaumen, getrockneten Kräutern und Graphitmineralität. Er hat bereits vor seiner Veröffentlichung eine lange Reifung hinter sich - 24 Monate in französischen Eichenfässern, gefolgt von weiteren 100 Monaten in der Flasche. Der Sassontino ist ein Wein, auf den es sich zu warten lohnt. La Spinetta wurde offiziell 1977 gegründet, aber die Besessenheit der Familie Rivetta vom Wein reicht noch viel weiter zurück. Es wurde von Giuseppe Rivetti auf einem Hügel in Asti, im Piemont, gegründet, obwohl das Weingut inzwischen in die Hände seines Sohnes Giorgio übergegangen ist. La Spinetta ist eine der großen Erfolgsgeschichten des italienischen Weins der jüngeren Zeit, bekannt für seine Beständigkeit und Qualität und in der ganzen Welt bewundert. Wie Sie es von einem Wein erwarten, der 10 Jahre lang gereift ist, bevor er auf den Markt kam, ist der Sassontino vielschichtig, komplex und wunderschön. Er hat immer noch eine aufregende frische Säure, die die Aromen von Heidelbeeren, Cassis und Pflaumen hervorhebt. Wenn er sich öffnet, können Sie auch Anklänge von Vanille, Kaffee, Leder und Eiche entdecken. Die Tannine sind süß und feinkörnig. Dies ist ein Wein für besondere Anlässe. Kombinieren Sie ihn mit Wildbraten, reifem Käse oder einem reichhaltigen Ragù.Shipping Notes

Excellent Tool for Approaching Homer via English
Format: Hardcover
I love the Loeb editions of Homer. I've already ready the Odyssey, now moving on to the Iliad.
What I've especially started to enjoy with this volume of the Iliad is the editors decision to "call out" which lines were rejected by which ancient commentators (Aristarchus, etc.). This adds some fun to the reading because you get to review the line in Greek and try to surmise why they rejected it, or how the passage would work without the line.
The translation is reasonably modern but still "lordly" and has the tone of a war epic. It was enjoyable to read aloud in both English and Greek.

2,800 years worth of people have heard/read Homer
Format: Hardcover
I just finished reading volume 1 of Homer's Iliad published by The LOEB Classical Library in conjunction with Harvard University Press. The translation is by A.T. Murray with revisions made by William F. Wyatt. The LOEB Classical Library is a academically trusted collection of Greek and Latin publications. The translations are normally more literal than those you might find at your local Barnes and Noble, therefore they read more like an archaic form of English.
Homer's Iliad can be found on nearly every great works of literature list. Harold Bloom considered Homer to be in the same family with Cervantes, Dante, and Shakespeare. The Iliad has been read for thousands of years, and every reputable honors program includes his works in their required readings lists. His writings influenced Tolkien and George R.R. Martin. His descriptions of war are grotesque and inspiring. The pantheon of deities he created in his stories set the stage for the Greek mythology that followed him. This is the understanding I had when approaching the book. The bar was set rather high and unlike most expectations these ones were surpassed.
As I finished reading volume 1, I asked myself, "how could a writer from the 8th century B.C. have achieved so much, when so many from our era have achieved so little?" Homer had no paper trail of literary criticism to follow. He had no classes in writing style and technique, and yet the Iliad is of such a high caliber that we still read him today. Wayne C. Booth brought to our attention Homer's "leave nothing up to the reader" style of reading. If Homer wants you to favor one group over another, he is going to come out and say it. He can tell you every thought and intent of each character. Homer doesn't care that it would be impossible for anyone to know the thoughts of Agamemnon or Hector. He knows what they thought and that's enough. Many writers today shy away from such literary techniques in favor of modes that demand "reader response." This is not necessarily bad, it's just a different approach but many of their works, if not all, will not demand the attention of 2,800 years worth of readers.

Excellent for learning Homeric Greek
Format: Hardcover
The book is bilingual Homeric Greek-English. It is a Word to word translation of the wonderful ancient text... Reading Iliad is a must for all modern man. With this book, with the help of the opposite page English translation, you can read it in its original too. Homeric Greek is not biblical Greek. It's even older and more beautiful.. So, It may not be the best book for biblical greek readers or learners. But if you are serious about learning ancient Greek and want to do it by reading it word by word with the help of English translation, this book is the right one to start with. Homeric Greek is a dead language, therefore people don't know how to pronounce it. There are many theories about it but there is an interesting guy on YouTube with the nickname "kleber kosta", and he is the best reader of Iliad when it comes to pronouncing it.

Good standard pony
Format: Hardcover
I recommend this book for scholars who want to read the original Greek but don't want the burden of translating. I like the small size of the book that can be toted around to the doctor's and on an airplane. There are enough notes on difficult passages to make the casual reader aware of the specialist's debate.
