Two Italian B wines

Time to try two Italian B wines, and with B I mean two producers that start with a B. namely, Biscardo and Bersano. First up is Biscardo and their wine Borgoa San Lorenzo which is a Soave Classico wine from Veneto. The grapes are Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave and the vintage is 2016 with an ABV of 13%. This wine has a deep flavour with some nice grapefruit and apples. Very nice.

Second winery is Bersano from Piemonte and the wine Roero Arneis. This wine is from 2016 and the ABV is 14%. The grape is 100% Arneis. I get honey, melon and a wee bit citrus in the taste. A very well balanced wine.

Two white wines from Italy

First up is the the white wine Bianco passivento from producer Barone Montalto in Sicily. It is made by putting the grapes in baskets to be dried by the wind. The taste is fruity with some melons and freshness, in the aftetaste one can feel some sweetness. Loses a bit in the long run.

Next white wine is from the region of Veneto. It the called Oropasso from the winemaker Biscardo. It is of the vintage 2016 and has an ABV of 13%. The grapes used are Garganega and Chardonnay. The wine has a very good smell. The taste is of melon, apples and citrus. A very good wine.
