Tasting Notes of Wines around the World
On the nose pleasant aroma of peach and lime, with a freshness that continues in the mouth, where it finishes with a flavour of green apple. No much aftertaste, beside the refreshing sensation.
This wine is made 100% with Vidiano, an ancient white grape variety indigenous of Crete that some years ago almost got extinguished. Continue reading “Vorinos White 2016”
On the nose mainly tropical fruits, like ananas, and citrus, with some spicy undertones. Somehow it also reminds me of the Narghilè I used to smoke while travelling in the Middle East. In the mouth less fresh and rich than you would expect from the nose. Rather lean and without much of neither finish nor aftertaste. Continue reading “Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Mastroberardino 2016”
On the nose it displays mild aromas of melon, mandarin and banana. In the mouth light, but balanced, with an agreeable finish. The aftertaste is very discrete, with the melon, the mandarin and the banana coming back to say goodbye.
This wine is made 100% with Vilana, a white grape variety grown primarily in the island of Crete, the southernmost of Greece. Continue reading “Boutari Kretikos White 2017”
On the nose, vinous with plum and sour cherry flavours. In the mouth, lean, acidic and slightly astringent, with a drying, sour finish. Not much aftertaste.
Lagrein is an ancient grape variety that is most probably native to Alto Adige, the northernmost wine producing region of Italy. It can deliver full bodied wines with a deep and dense color. Continue reading “Cantina Terlan Lagrein 2016”
Lean and clean nose, with hints of fresh green foliage. In the mouth, crispy and mineral, with a finish dominated by citrus fruits that last through a fairly long aftertaste.
Greco di Tufo is one of the three DOCG of Irpinia, in the Campania region of Italy. Continue reading “Greco di Tufo Feudi di San Gregorio 2017”
The nose is dominated by an aroma of apricot. In the mouth the wine displays a velvety texture and a light, but fairly long, aftertaste of the same sweet apricot first perceived on the nose.
Overall, this Jurançon Sec produced by Cave de Gan delivers a simple but very pleasant experience. At 7 EUR a bottle in Paris it offers an attractive price-quality relationship. Continue reading “Cuvée du Baptême 2016”
Very pleasant citrusy nose, accompanied by nutty notes. It reminds me of a weird mix of lemon and peanuts.
In the mouth, as pleasant as on the nose. Well balanced and with, for my taste, just the right amount of freshness. The finish is dominated by the same citrusy sensation perceived on the nose, which last through a fairly long aftertaste. Continue reading “Falanghina del Sannio Feudi di San Gregorio 2017”
On the nose, an aroma market by citrus fruits, floral and mineral flavours.
In the mouth very refreshing, with the citrus notes and the flint perceived on the nose resurfacing. In the fairly long aftertaste, after the lively acidity fade, I’m left with a taste that reminds me of chamomile. Continue reading “Fiano di Avellino Feudi di San Gregorio 2016”
Pleasantly fruity on the nose and (especially) in the mouth. It doesn’t really have any persistence worth mentioning, but thanks to its acidity and effervescency, the wine is very refreshing.
Bardolino Chiaretto Spumante is a simple, easy to drink wine. Continue reading “Fior di Rosa”
The only reason I bought this Bardolino DOC Classico is because it is made without any sulphites added, and I was curious to judge the result.
The nose is very fresh and clean. Not obvious, given the bacteriological risks associated with not adding sulphites. The aroma of sour-cherry typical of the Corvina grape dominates. Continue reading “i Filari del Nino 2016”
