Dear Wine Lovers,
today I'd like to talk about something really new for me. The wine that I'm going to introduce you was given to me by a special colleague named Julius and I want to dedicate this review to him and thank him for his wonderful thoughts.
I was born in Milan and when people from Milan want to go to the sea, they go to the Liguria region, a really small patch of land about 150kms from downtown Milan. The only problem is that during summer months, all "the city folk" move there so you could probably reach New York (swimming) in the same amount of time that people from Milan reach the Ligurian sea.
By the way, the Liguria region offer a lot of wonderful landscapes and "the south" of this region is really amazing.
I think that this wine comes from one of the most romantic place in the world, the "Cinque Terre" area (Five Lands), five little villages located in the middle of Cinque Terre National Park, a World Heritage Site protected by UNESCO.
Near the "Cinque Terre", in the wonderful picturesque town of "Portovenere" there is one of my favourite restaurants named "Le Bocche" (one of best sea view restaurants in the world) but today I have to focus on this "surprise" so, relax yourself, take off your shoes and enjoy this sensual experience:
Cinque Terre DOC by Luciano Capellini
As you know I'm not a big fan of the white wines but sometimes, when I meet a "white" like this, I can get really enthusiatic.
This wine reminds me of "spring time" and is composed of "Bosco", "Arbarola" and the famous "Vermentino" grape planted in a gorgeous and scenic terraced vineyards. Intense yellow colour with golden nuances, amazing at the nose, springtime flavours, lemon, green apple and with a good minerality. The palate is the same but more "fun", crispy, really well balanced, with nice body and with a enjoyable finish.
This wine could be a match for some aromatic wines of the Dolomites region (my favourite whites) and it has been a really welcome gift.
Since the autum is coming and the "BIG REDS SEASON" is starting, we have little time to say goodbye to the summer and what better way to do it than with a fresh wine like this.
This new wine experience taught me a lot, I had no expectations of this region but I've been very impressed by the quality of this wine and talent of the winemaker.
It is the journey of life that enriches our lives, let's enjoy it!
