2019 Pasqua 11 Minutes Rose’
It’s hot outside, which means a bottle of crisp, refreshing rose’ is just what I needed. Was the 2019 Pasqua 11 Minute Rose’ up to the task?
Italian Wine
2016 Tasca d’Almerita Lamuri Nero d’Avola
Wrapping up my (at home) wine tour of Sicily with a Nero d’Avola and our twist on lasagna. Not bad for a middle of the week evening.
2017 Tasca d’Almerita “Guarnaccio” Perricone Sicilia DOC
I’ve been getting to try grapes that are new to me (or ones that I have rarely tried) more often of late, and if the Perricone is any indication–I need to do it more often.
2016 Garofoli “Piancarda” Rosso Conero DOC
The 2016 Garofoli “Piancarda” Rosso Conero DOC gives me the first bottle of Montepulciano in nearly 10 years. I think the 10 years has done me well.
2016 Garofoli “Podium” Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico Superiore DOC
Another bottle of Verdicchio, the 2016 Garofoli “Podium” Verdicchio is definitely a different approach to the same grape.
2018 Garofoli “Macrina” Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi DOC Classico Superiore
A new grape for me, the 2018 Garofoli “Macrina” Verdicchio surprised me with flavour and value. Always good to find.
