Primitivo from Puglia: A Red Wine for Cooler Days
We’ve spent quite a lot of time in Italy recently — at least in terms of the wines we’re tasting. We’ve mostly been sipping northern Italy — a couple of versions of Schiavo (aka Vernatsch) from Alto Adige, and then a delightfully aromatic Turbiana from Lugana. All were perfect for warmer weather and lighter meals. With the change of seasons, […] The post Primitivo from Puglia: A Red Wine for Cooler Days appeared first on Pull That Cork .

An Introduction to Lugana with a Glass of Turbiana

And while the region lies between the provinces of Brescia and Verona, and sits astride two wine regions, Lombardy and Veneto, it is firmly committed to just one grape variety: Turbiana. If you are a curious wine drinker looking for a taste […] The post An Introduction to Lugana with a Glass of Turbiana appeared first on Pull That Cork .

FitVine Free: Non-Alcoholic Wine Alternative
Every tasting sample we receive is an opportunity to learn about grape varieties, wine regions and winemaking techniques. In the case of FitVine Free we had the opportunity to taste and learn about “functional, non-alcoholic wine…infused with electrolytes, fresh fruit, and adaptogens…” I was just curious enough about the functional, non-alcoholic wine and adaptogens aspects to give them a taste, […] The post FitVine Free: Non-Alcoholic Wine Alternative appeared first on Pull That Cork .
