Tasting Notes

Versatility! A varied selection of wines that are lovely for sipping on their own and are friendly pairings with a wide range of foods.

These wines tick the boxes of versatility because they have:
* crisp acidity (the Prosecco and the white wines)
* no oak (all)
* medium body (all e​xce​pt the​ Amorne​ro, which is full bodie​d)
* balanced tannin and moderate acidity (the reds)

This case includes 2 bottles of sparkling white, 4 bottles of white, and 6 bottles of red wine.

Lovely sipping wines:

LE RUGHE PROSECCO DOC BRUT (ITALY) (2 BOTTLES)
Brilliant, light-straw yellow with persistent perlage. On the nose, medium intensity and delicate aromas of grapefruit. The palate has citrus, acacia, pear and apple, and the very pleasant combination of acidity, effervescence and sweetness lead to a lingering, complex finish. Serve well chilled.

"ITALICO" PINOT GRIGIO TERRE DEGLI OSCI IGT 2020 (ITALY) (2 BOTTLES)
Straw yellow color. The nose has a delicate bouquet of citrus, apple, and pear, with notes of almond. In the mouth it is crisp and dry with a pleasant freshness and soft pear and melon flavors along with good persistence. Serve well chilled.

VILACETINHO VINHO VERDE DOC (PORTUGAL)
(2 BOTTLES)
Pale-yellow citrine colour. Aromas of white orchard fruits and a light touch of tropical fruitiness on the nose. Fresh, young and vibrant, with a slight fizziness on the palate, lovely for sipping on any occasion. Serve well chilled.

"VIEJA BODEGA" MALBEC 2017 (ARGENTINA)
Red colour with violet tones. Aromas of blackberries and red plums on the nose. Sweet, round tannins on the palate. Easy drinking and ready to drink now.

"AMORNERO" ROSSO SALENTO IGT 2017 (ITALY)
Brilliant ruby red with purple hues. Aromas of ripe dark berries such as blackberries and blackcurrants, paired with notes of prunes and raisins, licorice, cinnamon and spices. These aromas are reflected on the palate. The wine is soft and round, full bodied and well balanced on the palate, with a very pleasing finish.

Food wines that will nicely complement most dishes:

*All of the above* plus:

"CLOS DEL PINELL" GARNACHA NEGRA TERRA ALTA DO 2019 (SPAIN)

"LOGGIA DEI SANI" CHIANTI DOCG 2017 (ITALY)
(2 BOTTLES)
Bright ruby red tending to garnet with aging. Ample, fruity and floral aromas with notes of cherry and violet. Dry and harmonious flavor on the palate.
