Northern Italy Exemplified

My love for Corvina is well-documented, and made in the Bardolino style is the WINE AMERICA NEEDS. Geeks everywhere–especially acid-freak somms and *natural* devotees–would be blown away by the freshness and fruit they deliver in a low-alc, crystalline body. And SOOOO inexpensive. This one is transparent as usual, and showing copious brick throughout here at 3+. Dusty and dank, the fruit clearly…

Lake Garda, Italy

[ JUNE 2022 ] This was a fabulous holiday and was made even more wonderful by the fact we finally got to go on it. This one had been a journey in itself before we even got to the airport. We had booked to go on this holiday with Andy’s Parents in 2019, ready for 2020 and then COVID-19 hit the planet and we were all locked away in our own homes. So, after 2020 was cancelled, then 2021 was…

Turning water into wine

Bardolino is also home to a wine museum. It is hosted by one of the wineries and shows how water (and sunshine and the right plants: grapes) are turned into wine. The display starts with a whole wall covered in small panels, each displaying a different grape variety. Just like apples, the varieties are quite different. The Garganega variety in this picture was one of the wines I enjoyed drinking…

Taste the Italian Wines Once Made by Monks via Monte del Fra at @VanWineFest 2024 #Valpolicella #Custoza #Lugana #Soave #Bardolino #Amarone #somm #winelover @PatagoniaImpor1

Wineries change hands over time, but you do not often hear of a winery with a vineyard going from monks to lay people.  Monte del Frà is one of those wineries and we are lucky to have the winery attending VanWineFest 2024.  Their wines are in our market already, but you can get a chance to speak with a winery principal and maybe taste some wines brought specially for the Festival.  Here is…

The Gold Coast

The distinct spiny-vegetal comes out of the glass, a worn orange-peel sort of piquant floral flush with apricot and strawberry. Transparent ruddy-ruby with clear garnet at the rim. Drrrrrty and gritty while flush with glowing fruit, these Corvinas have all your Gamay, Mencia, and Cab-franc dreams packed inside. Fun winery too: no one spoke English, and the proprietor had bottles to share back…
