Prosecco di Valdobbiadene by Aneri - ... feel like the President of the United States...in a sparkling dream!

Dear Wine Lovers,

Christmas is coming, I know... and so I'm here with one of the best and most appropriate Italian sparkling wines for the season: Prosecco di Valdobbiadene By Aneri.

Why a sparkling wine, chilled like the snow falling outside?

Cause it will skim off all the fat you will accumulate eating "Christmas holiday dishes", dude!

... and it could help your digestion!

Some news:

Last year the word "Prosecco" has been included in the American dictionary and as if that were not enough Barack Obama has celebrated his election with twelve bottles of this Prosecco, isn't that great, dude?

Twelve bottles? Alone? :)

I discovered this Prosecco only a year ago (thanks uncle Stefano for the suggestion); I've always been a little bit sceptical about the "Italian's Prosecco" cause, typically, it contains a heavy touch of sugar that makes it less than ideal for combining with food.

Anyway, this Prosecco By Aneri has been a pleasant surprise for me. The taste of sugar is really delicate and will not tamper with your food. This Prosecco is completely agreeable, fresh and has a nice floral character.

As well as being a great aperitif wine, this Prosecco is an amazing "celebratory" drink and an excellent choice for many kind of foods (white meat or fish or spicy food).

Above all that, this story has a sensational culmination... you can find this wine at the unbelievable price of 8 Euros (suggested retail price).

One of the best quality/price ratio wines I've ever tasted.

So, don't play around making snowmen, buy some bottles of this Prosecco and enjoy your Christmas Vacation!

I wish you all my best for your holidays and see you here after the break.

Cheers,

Valpolicella Superiore Mithas By Corte Sant' Alda - the Shakespeare's trick :)!

Dear Wine Lovers,

Shakespeare had never been to Italy but wrote his immortal version of "Romeo and Juliet"... how was he able to do that?

I know the answer: he was sipping a great Valpolicella wine and he started a dream journey through the magnificent Valpolicella's hills around the unmatched city of Verona.

So, today I'd like to bring you to Veneto, a region that is represents the winemaking sector that excels on the national scene in both the overall quantity of its production and output per hectare, and in the quality of its end-product, which takes a share of over 20% of the nation's wine production.

Here in Veneto they host one of the most famous wines in the world: the Amarone.

I know, the Amarone is the king of Valpolicella and my wine review could seem a little bit rude, but for now, I absolutely want to snub the Amarone.

Ladies and Gentleman, today, here we have...on this debunking stage... (drum roll)...

Valpolicella Superiore Mithas By Corte Sant'Alda (loud applause)

I tasted it, for the first time, about five years ago and It was love-at-first-sip!

This Valpolicella Mithas is made of the richness and concentration of the Corvina and Corvina Grossa grapes.

I remember our first "date", I was in Bassano Del Grappa in Veneto, an amazing and romantic city crossed by the Brenta river. During an unforgetable lunch,with a river-view, I tried to choose a new wine that I'd never seen before, so, I asked for a bottle of Valpolicella Mithas. During my trips, I usually prefer to try the wines of the territory I'm visiting at that time.

I perfectly remember that taste, a remarkable punchy-bunch of flowers running over my nose and into my mouth. I also sensed a lot of strong minerals accompanied by spices and pepper. Dark fruit, new French oak, leather, mint and licorice melting together in an opulent Valpolicella packed with rare talent.

Even if you won't write a new version of "Romeo & Juliet", you should try this "prince-wine", a far-out experience.

So, open yourself a bottle, fasten your seat-belt and enjoy your flight over the Valpolicella's hills.

Keep in touch and open your eyes to the "punch of flowers" :)
