From Sardina to Campania

Sardinia is a place I want to visit someday and until then I have to do with Sardinian pecorino and their wine. A wine that I tasted were the white wine Samas by producer Agricola Punica. The Samas wine is a Isola dei Nuraghi IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica). It is of vintage 2013 and contains 80% vermentino and 20% chardonnay. It has a yellow tinged colour and has a very fresh aroma. The taste is very fresh and a bit fruity character with ripe pears and some citrus.

For the second time I had the chance to try the grape Fiano and the producer is the old acquaintance Terredora. The wine is Fiano di Avellino which is also a DOGC and the vintage is 2013. The aroma is strong and the colour is pale straw yellow. The taste is also very strong with a big hit of acid and citrus. Some fruit notes and honey. This wine would be lovely together with sea food. I can imagine myself sitting by the coast drinking this wine with local fish in Campania. I think this wine will store well for a couple of years also due to its strength.

Fiano Di Avellino 2010

The wineyard Terre di Ora produces the Fiano Di Avellino 2010 from Italy. It is made from the grape Fiano which is an ancient indegenous grape. The smell is of tropical fruit and I was suprides tyhat the taste was very strong. Not as light as I thought it would be. It has a very rich taste and a full body, maybe fruity. And it is a very dry finish. A grape that I have to check out more in the future. Worked very well with the tagliatelle al Ragu.
