Piedmont Wine Diamonds
Piedmont is the birthplace of the most famous red wines “Barolo” and “Barbaresco”. “Barolo”, recognized as the best wine in Italy, is aged in wooden barrels for at least two years. Thanks to this, it acquires a dense structure and a balanced velvety taste with light fruit notes. Especially well, the wine is in harmony with grilled meat, game and hard cheeses. “Barbaresco” also has an impeccable taste with a bright aroma of wild berries, licorice and resin. This drink is ideal for meat baked in the oven or on the grill, as well as game and pasta. Sparkling dessert “Asti”is especially popular among wine connoisseurs. A light sweet taste with hints of acacia, peach and citrus will be the perfect end to your festive dinner. An interesting pair of wines can be made up of fresh melon, cream ice cream or shortbread dessert with slices of fresh pineapple.
Opening Emilia-Romagna
The Emilia-Romagna region is known for its prosciutto, parmesan and tagliatelle pasta. While local wines unfairly remain in the shadows. Meanwhile, the Italians are rightly proud of them. The business card of the region is the delicious Italian wine “Lambrusco”. Its bright, balanced fruit flavor is perfectly refreshing in summer. The wine is especially well combined with seafood and fresh vegetables. Wines from the fertile hills of Bologna were highly appreciated by the ancient Roman poet Pliny the Elder. Today they also have a lot of fans. Interesting taste sensations are given by the white, moderately sweet sparkling wine “Colli Bolonesi”, which is excellent both in itself and in addition to fruit. Lovers of red varieties will approve of the wine “Gutturnio”. The soft rich taste with sweet and sour berry notes leaves a delicate aftertaste. A few slices of parmesan will reveal it to the fullest. And you can also serve pizza with mushrooms to this wine.
Veneto-a haven for romantics
Venice is the capital not only of the Romantics, but also of the Veneto region, which has given the world wonderful wines. Dry red wine with a melodious name “Amarone della Valpolicello” – the pearl of the collection. In the most seasoned varieties, the taste of dried fruits is successfully complemented by tarry notes. This drink can be served with grilled meat dishes, fried game and spicy cheese. Do you prefer white wine? Then the delicate fruit and flower bouquet “Soave Classico” will make a lasting impression on you. A soft, harmonious taste with an almond aftertaste is vividly felt with pasta, fish and white meat. Fans of fizzy drinks will be won over by the sparkling version of Prosecco wines. The aromas of white flowers with notes of apple, pear and exotic fruits give rise to a unique bouquet. This wine is best complemented by fish and seafood. A laconic snack in the form of olives with lemon is another worthy option.
Tuscany in all its glory
The next stop is in Tuscany, whose wines are the standard of taste all over the world. Perhaps the most popular of them is “Chianti classico” from the premium category of Italian wines. Thanks to the special grape variety “Sangiovese”, the drink gets a rich taste with a berry accent and a slightly burning aftertaste. This tart wine is best served in a duet with roast turkey, tobacco chicken or grilled meat with Provencal herbs. Among the white varieties, the wine “Vernaccia di San Gimignano”is respected by gourmets. The exquisite bouquet combines notes of almonds, white flowers and juicy apples. Its elegant taste is subtly accentuated by fish dishes. Those who love sweets will love the dessert “Vin Santo”. Delicate honey sweetness, hints of citrus and dried fruits create a dense taste with a soft aftertaste. Gastronomic additions are superfluous here — this wine is most beautiful in its pure form.
Historical chronicles of the Campaign
The Campania region is famous for its ancient wine-making traditions. The real pride of local winemakers is the dry red wine “Taurasi”. The dense velvety tart taste is characterized by bright notes of blackberries, vanilla and spices. It serves grilled meat and game, aged cheeses and mushroom snacks. The decoration of the collection of white varieties is the “Fiano” wine from the oldest grape variety imported by the ancient Greeks. The tempting rich taste with notes of pear, roasted hazelnuts and aromatic herbs leaves a long aftertaste. This is a good choice for fish, white meat and shellfish. Another great creation of the Campaign is the dry white wine “Greco di Tuffo”. The balanced pleasant taste gives a complex aftertaste with mineral notes. Most of all, this wine is suitable for fried fish and seafood with a spicy sauce.
