Sagra dell'uva a Marino
Date: Thu, Sep 18, 2008 Wine Tasting
The famous "Sagra dell'uva" (Feast of the grapes) in Marino, a village in the southern hills of Rome. In the end of the video you can see the traditional "wine fountain"...

Chianti Classico Tenuta Sant'Alfonso 2005- Rocca delle Macìe: finally a great Chianti!
Date: Wed, Sep 17, 2008 Wine Tasting
Sadly we are used to many horrible waterish Chianti that invade the wine market...many bad wines that are spoiling the name of (probably) the most famous Italian wine in the world. For luck it's also possible to find nice, elegant Chianti wines which have nothing in common with those straw-covered bottles that you can find in the souvenir shops...
That's the case of Tenuta Sant'Alfonso, the basic Chianti of Rocca delle Macìe winery. Vintage 2005 has a nice, inviting ruby red...a fresh note of juicy, "crunchy" berries is coming to our nose, together with pepperish spices in a background of a balsamic perfume. Tasting is dominated by freshness and acidity...that's exactly what we would expect from a Sangiovese (the vine of Chianti), but with a component of roundness which donates the necessary balance to the wine.
Let's try it with a typical lasagna made with a juicy heavy meat sauce...
Price in Italian wine stores: 12 euros
Price abroad: about 20 USD
Pinot Nero Cornell 2004 - Colterenzio: Elegance near the Alps
Date: Tue, Sep 16, 2008 Wine Tasting
Colterenzio is an association of winemakers, in the region of Bolzano, not very far from the border with Austria. We are in a mountains region and weather here is different from any other part of Italy. The high difference betwen the lowest and the highest temperature in a 24h period represents a perfect micro-climate for a difficult vine like Pinot Noir.
Pinot Nero Cornell 2004 has a bright ruby red...elegant nose with a balsamic note,mixed with a delicate perfume of red flowers and spices such as coriander and cumin...splendid acidity in the mouth, together with adeguate roundness and a sapid note which makes the persistence longer...
I'd match it with pork steaks spiced with fennel seeds.
Price in Italian wine stores: 23 euros
Price abroad: about 35 USD
Terra Riserva 2004 - Conti Zecca: from Apulia, a good price for a good wine
Date: Mon, Sep 15, 2008 Wine Tasting
Conti Zecca is an awsome winery located in the extreme South-East of Italy,a zone of Apulia region called Salento. If you are travelling around there, a visit to the wonderful vinyards of this winery is a must, after visiting the gorgeous Baroque churches of Lecce.
Even if their top wine is Nero, (Negroamaro 70%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30%), today I'd like to introduce you their Terra Riserva, a mix of Negroamaro and Aglianico varieties of grapes. This wine represents for me the perfect example of good relaction betwen quality and price that you can easily find in many of southern italian wines...
Terra Riserva 2004 is showing up an elegant garnet red which invites us to a large,fine bouquet of mature black berries, dried roses, sweet spices and toasted coffee. Silky tannins and long persistence in the mouth.
Try it with long-cooked beef meat, together with Digione mustard.
Price in Italian wine stores: 14 euros
Price abroad: about 20 dollars

San Sisto Riserva 2004 - Fazi Battaglia: a nice Verdicchio from Marche
Date: Thu, Aug 28, 2008 Wine Tasting
Verdicchio is an indigenous variety from the region of Marche, central eastern Italy, where it finds the best territory to express its potential. We have an example of how elegant and fine a Verdicchio can be in this San Sisto Riserva 2004, produced by famous winery Fazi Battaglia with grapes coming from a single vineyard...a straw/golden yellow creates fat tears on the glass...that gives us already an idea that the wine has a quite high level of alcohol and residual sugar...in the bouquet we can distinguish refined notes which didnt completly develop yet: toasted wood, cinnamon, tobacco but also a delicate nuance of yellow flowers and tropical fruit, mixed together with an enveloping enamelled note...round and warm entrance to the mouth...then we feel acidity and a nice final sapid note...
This wine has a properly round body, too heavy to match with a delicate lobster or shrimps...I'd rather suggest a risotto with porcini mushroms...
Price in Italian wine stores: 16 euro

Mater Matuta 2004 - Casale del Giglio: a great red wine from Latium
Date: Wed, Aug 27, 2008 Wine Tasting
Don Antonio 2005 - Morgante: a taste of Sicily
Date: Wed, Aug 27, 2008 Wine Tasting
Nero d'Avola 100%.
The most typical variety of grape from Sicily is the only starring of this incredibly elegant red wine.
A deep rubin dances in the glass and invite us to taste...a first note of Mediterranean scrub is slowly leaving the place to more intense sensations of dark fruits...the bouquet is completed by elegant notes of vulcanic stone and eucalyptus.
In the mouth we find back the elegance and balance of the bouquet...the wine comes in with its round full body, but silky tannins and same mineral notes are helping to keep the backtaste clean in its neverending final...
Perfect match with roasted lamb, cooked with juniper berries.
Price in Italian wine stores: 17/20 euros
Price abroad: ?
