Lamborghini, that name brings a vision of cars. But when travelling in the sixties in Umbria, Ferruccio Lamborghini fell in love with the landscape and bought a winery there and abandoned car making. The winery Tenuta Lamborghini is situated on the edge of Lago Trasimeno and I have the fortune to taste their white wine Centanni, which is a 100 year anniversery bottling of Ferruccio Lamborghini birth. It is made of 100% Grechetto grapes. The taste if lemon and grapefruits with a big hit of acidity, definitely not for everyone. But it is a great food wine, I had it with fish and it went very well together. Buy one if you want to experience Lamborghini without ruining yourself.
Going to the south of Italy we find Puglia. Here there is a red grape called Negroamoro, this grape produces great wine. Sud from producer Cantina San Marzano is made of 100% Negroamoro and has an abv of 13,5%. The vintage is 2015. This wine has a good smell. This wine is young and one can feel it in the taste. It is red fruits, cherries and tannins. The aftertaste is of dark chocolate. I quite like the young untamed character of this wine. Goes very well with food.
