Cathing up on the tasted wine

Being in Italy means that I am busy and cannot write any reviews so here a some older one that I have tasted.

Valpolicella Ripasso Pasqua of vintage 2014 contains the grapes Corvina, Rondinella and Negrara. It is made by using the Ripasso method. The taste of red berries, smooth tannins and a good after taste.
The wine Ghemme by producer Torraccia Del Piantavigna is from 2005. It is made of 90% Nebbiolo and 10% vespolino. The ABv is 13,5 %. It has a taste of cherries and tobacco, but the tannins are strong and despite being 12 year old the tannins are to strong for me.

There is a sparkling wine called Ferrari and now I have tasted a sparkling wine called Lamborghini Brut NV. It contains Pinot and Chardonnay and has an ABV of 12,5%. It has a very fresh smell of apples and tastes of citrus and bread. Almost like a heavier Prosecco. Very nice.
I don't drink half sweet wine that often but Germany knows how to make them. Kloster Eberback produces the wine Riesling Spätlese Crescentia of vintage 2015. It has a taste of tropical fruits and is very balanced half sweet wine if drunk in not to much quantities. As otherwise the sweetness takes over. For me a glass is perfect.

Lamborghini centianni bottle and Sud Negroamoro

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.
