Italian Island Wine Speak with Vinisola #ItalianFWT

Lynn April 5, 2019 April 7, 2019 21 Comments on Italian Island Wine Speak with Vinisola #ItalianFWT

Moscato di Alexandria Muscat grape bunch

Pantelleria floats off the southwest corner of Sicily. With nowhere near the number of visitors anyone wanting a quieter wine trip is in luck. Zibibbo is the wine temptress.

My Valentine apéritif wine💘 A joy meeting Gil

My Valentine apéritif wine💘

A joy meeting Gilles Guéle, Domaine de la Perdrix, and some wines behind this big smile. Gilles handles sales development for owners Virginie and André Gil.
.
Lassoed by their Roussillon blanc, then wowed by Bandoler Rivesaltes Ambré aged two months in Tennessee whisky barrels.
.
Bandoler is a vin doux naturel, naturally sweet fortified wine. It’s Ambre (meaning white grapes- here Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris), Hors d’Âge (extended oxidative aging 5 years minimum, here 10). Then it went in recently drained Jack Daniels barrels for 2 months.
.
Superb balance between soft sweetness of Rivesaltes Ambré and the taste of whisky. Complex, deep flavors, bright acidic lift, sweetness that seems just a touch.
.
Pure joy on the palate with nutty nibbles, tortilla española, and blue cheese. But I’d sip it after dinner by itself next to a fire, under the stars, or sitting on a beach listening to waves crash.
.
Domaine de la Perdrix is 25k from the Spanish border and 20k to the beach in French Catalonia. •••32h (79 acres), farmed traditionally with minimal to no inputs. •••Organic certification process started in 2018.

A dive into Fleurie Cru wines equals great discove

A dive into Fleurie Cru wines equals great discoveries including Domaine des Grands Fers and Christian Bernard! •• Established by his great grandfather in 1890, today Christian farms six hectares (12 acres) of older vines. Sustainable methods are used, meaning farming like his grandfathers- minimal use of outside additions if any, zero to minimal sulfites. •• "Les Roches" Cru is about cherry, blackberry, dark plum, blackcurrant and hints of nutmeg. The palate has a bright blueberry lift (go bite into a fresh one!), dried tobacco leaves, humus, fine tanins and impeccable balance. •• Vinification: whole cluster berry fermentation in cement tank followed by 25 days skin maceration, then aging 10-12 months in 30hl large barrels, and new and used Burgundy barrels. Beaujolais fans, I think you’ll want a taste of this!

Going and coming. Pont Pierre is a major thoroughf

Going and coming. Pont Pierre is a major thoroughfare that was closed to car traffic a while back. Napolean Bonaparte requested 17 arches to coincide with his name. It’s majestic any time of day but especially at sunset when Bordeaux is void of clouds. ••• ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bordeaux #historictowns #historicarchitecture #pontpierrebordeaux #morethanwine #savoreverymoment #sunsets @bordeauxmaville
