How to Choose Italian Wine in a Supermarket
Supermarket wine aisles are designed to make you feel stupid. I’m fairly convinced of it. Fifty bottles you can’t pronounce. DOC, DOCG, and IGT stamped everywhere like the wine sat an exam. Gold medal stickers stacked three deep, as if the bottle just came home from the Olympics. Prices ranging...

MenoDodicIGP: Philippe De Charmille - Cremant de Loire Brut (Magnum)
di Carlo Macchi Il Crémant de Loire (uno degli otto Crémant che si possono produrre in Francia in zone fuori dalla Champagne) nasce, lungo la Valle della Loira, nelle regioni di Anjou, Saumur e Touraine. È uno spumante metodo classico, normalmente con un periodo abbastanza breve di permanenza sui lieviti (tra 12 e 20 mesi) e quasi sempre è composto da Chenin Blanc e Chardonnay. Questa presentazione generale calza a pennello anche per il nostro vino di oggi, che nasce da un négociant con uve Chenin Blanc (80%) e Chardonnay (20%). Le sue caratteristiche principali sono una bella freschezza sia al naso, dove note floreali si intersecano a sentori agrumati con il limone che predomina, sia al palato, dove accanto alla classica brillantezza acida del territorio troviamo una bollicina fine e rotonda, certo aiutata da qualche grammo di zucchero residuo. A questo punto di solito parliamo del prezzo e proprio per questo voglio prima raccontarvi una piccola storia: il vino che ho assaggiato per v

A Tour of Wine Grapes: Pinotage
Pinotage 🍷 Photo by Wolfgang Lendl on Wikimedia Commons Pinotage is a relatively young grape variety with a fascinating backstory. It was created in 1925 in South Africa by Professor Abraham Izak Perold, the first professor of viticulture at Stellenbosch University. Perold wanted to combine the elegance of Pinot Noir with the hardiness and productivity of Cinsault that is known in South Africa as Hermitage. The grape gets its name from a blend of its parents: Pinot (Noir) + hermitage = Pinotage. While Pinotage has been experimented with in small amounts in countries like the United States (California), New Zealand, Canada, and Brazil, it remains overwhelmingly tied to South Africa. Pinotage typically has bold aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and dark plums. Unique earthy and rustic undertones of leather, tar, and cured meat frequently define its signature profile. On the palate, juicy flavors of fresh red raspberry and blac

Creativity trumps origin? | New Brief #275
There is no shortage of hard‑to‑grasp expressions in the world of wine. One of them is that “a wine expresses its origin.” We see it everywhere. Advertisers use it, and so do wine producers, wine enthusiasts, sommeliers — everyone involved. It’s what wine consumers want to hear today. It sounds good, down‑to‑earth, authentic. But everyone […] Continue reading: Creativity trumps origin? | New Brief #275 The post Creativity trumps origin? | New Brief #275 was originally published on BKWine Magazine and written by Britt Karlsson .

Eisenstone’s gloriously un-Penfoldian 2023 Barossa reds
As I sit with a thick bottle of the new Eisenstone SV902 Hoffmann DV Vineyard Ebenezer Shiraz 2023 in front of me, I keep thinking about how refreshing it is to see how Barossa Shiraz has evolved. The default setting hasn't changed; this wine, and the, style is still unashamedly lush, oaky, and warmi, but we're no longer stuck with the old-school four-square, American oak-heavy styles as the only way. Close followers will know how much I like Stephen Cook's Eisenstone wines, and it was a pleasure to see Stephen on a brisk July day recently to see the ever-growing range of Barossan goodies.

I vitigni autotctoni e i tradizionali del Monferrato di Tenuta Santa Caterina in verticale
Alla scoperta della longevità di Grignolino, Freisa e Chardonnay allevati e vinificati nel basso Piemonte astigiano I vitigni autoctoni sono il grande patrimonio della viticoltura italiana; è un’occasione imperdibile poter assaggiare annate che vanno indietro nel tempo e poter valutare le capacità di invecchiamento del vitigno.

InvecchiatIGP: Rocca delle Macie - Toscana IGT Rosso Rockea 2011
di Carlo Macchi L’invecchiato di questa settimana è un vino molto particolare per vari aspetti: il primo è indubbiamente unico perché, modestia a parte, posso dire di “averlo fatto io”, il secondo è che è forse il primo vino servito per portare dell’acqua, il terzo è che è nato per uno scopo umanitario, il quarto riguarda la cantina che ha permesso il tutto, cioè Rocca delle Macie e il suo titolare, il mio amico Sergio Zingarelli, che in periodo di piena vendemmia misero la cantina a completa disposizione per produrre una singola barrique di vino. Ma andiamo con calma: siamo nel 2011 e a Rocca delle Macie portiamo avanti da quasi due anni un progetto su Youtube che presenta le varie fasi fenologiche della vite, dalla potatura alla vendemmia, riprendendo sempre la stessa vite di sangiovese nei vari momenti dell’anno: avevamo anche dato un nome alla vite, Rockea . Nacque dalla famiglia Zingarelli l’idea di fare qualcosa in più, cioè di creare un vino Rockea che servisse a raccogliere fon
