Wine made of rare native grapes from northern Italy

Two regions in the north of Italy are Piemonte and the small neighbouring mountainous region of  Vallee D'Aoste. They both have a lot of grapes which are native of that region.

First out is the wine Marin from producer Fontanafredda in the Langhe area of Piemonte. This is a white wine made of the grapes Chardonnay and Nascetta. Being a rare grape is true of Nascetta as at one time it was only grown around the hamlet of Novello in Piemonte. Now it is more spread around in Piemonte. The wine Marin is fresh and clear and taste of honey, some citrus and some oak. A very good wine. Next time I will try to get a wine that only consists of Nascetta.

A regions that has a lot of naive grape is the small small mountainous region of  Vallee D'Aoste. The wine Torette superieur  from producer Grosjean. It consists of the rare grapes Petit Rogue, Furmin, Cornalin and Premetta. All native grapes of Vallee D'Aoste. This wine has a good strong taste with a long after taste, very good.

Prosecco, Prosecco and more Prosecco

I like Prosecco and Prosecco can be drunk on many occasions since they are quite light and fresh. The proseccos that I had the chance to try this time are Cinzano, Drusian and Redentore. They are all light and fresh and easy to drink. The Redentore is a Grand Cuvee of vintage 2014. This had a taste of green apples, citrus and is dry.
The Cinzano prosecco  has a fresh smell and a taste of pears and citrus.
The Drusian is a Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. It also has a taste of green apples and citrus and is light and fresh.
