Never tire of Italian wines

I never tire of Italian wine and their accompaniment good Italian food. This time I had the chance to try out three different white wines from three different regions, Veneto, Emilia and Marche.

First up is the wine from Veneto. It is the wine Amedeo from producer Azienda Agricola Cavalchina. The colour is very clear and almost yellow. The wine consist of the grapes garganega, fernanda, trebbianello and trebbiano. It is from the DOC Custoza Superiore in the Veneto region. The taste is of pears, citrus and peaches. Very good drinking wine and goes well with Italian food.

Finally one ecological wine that is good. Faleri Pecorino is a white wine from the Marche region in Italy and is made by producer Cantina della Marca. The taste is heavy of grey pears and apples.
Almost need some food with it.

The last wine is the wine Iove from producer Umberto Cesari in Emila. It is made of the grapes pignoletto and Pinot Grigio. A good wine with a taste of citrus and flowers.

South Africa goes sparkling

The sparkling wine Simonsig from South Africa I had during New Years made me interested in South African wines so I had the chance to try two more wines.

First up is another wine from producer Simonsig, a chardonnay from 2013. Very nice wine with a taste of butter, citrus and some apples. Yet another good wine from this producer. Will have to check them up more.

South Africa also produces sparkling wine the Boschendal brut is my first taste of South African sparkling wine. This sparkling wine is made of the grapes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the typical champagne grapes. But this sparkling wine left me dissapointed. Sure it has bubbles and some bread taste but nothing else. There are much better sparkling wines around.

One much better sparkling wine is Doppis from 2012 by producer Tre Monti from the area Colli D'Imola in Italy. It is made from the local grape Pignoletto and is slighty sparkling since the name Pignoletto Frizzante. It has a very good taste, bread and citrus and tastes like a more expensive sparkling wine. Excellent. I think that Pignoletto wines are underestimated.
