pinot noir

A wine a day (for a week): from Alto Adige, Trentino,Valpolicella, Sicilia, NZ

Busy week, the last of May. Many wine tastings, the most very interesting. These are my notes, with a news: sometimes in these reviews (not always, I mean) I'll introduce my "best(s) of the week", the wine(s) that impressed me more.

Monday: "Pinot Grigio 2012" - Roverè della Luna. From a cooperative, maybe the best pinot gris I tasted in the last months. Pale color with green nuances, incredibly fruity (white peer and ripe peach) with a fine personality, elegant and juicy, smooth and long. Drinkable with satisfaction. Best of the week for the white wines .

Tuesday: "Insolia 2011" - Feudo Principi di Butera. Tropical yellow fruits (ananas, banana) with a touch of white pear at nose and in mouth, for this Insolia very long and smooth. Clean in the final, with a touch of white flowers.
