Non so perché mi esca Red Blend.. in realtà è una Malvasia di Candia Aromatica in purezza.. molto profumata, secca decisa, l'ho apprezzata particolarmente con frutti di mare. — 7 years ago

Denavolo

Dinavolino Romagna Malvasia di Candida Blend 2014

this basic wine from denavolo left me quite emotional. worked as a time machine back to early spring time in childhood, the smell of open soil, broken limb wood and first grass. hints of citrus, rocks, floral and vegetal.
mash fermented and left on the grapes for about two months - the tannin structure sorta hides.

cuvée of malvasia di candia aromatica, ortrugo.

Montepepe

Alberico Candia dei Colli Apuani Vermentino 2018

A well made version of vermentino.

Nose is aromatic lemon extract. Very fresh and clean. Very Italian. Some richness as it opens.

Palate is nicely mineral and balanced. Light gods lemon soda. Very sprightly on the palate. A hint of lemon pith. Richer as it opens. Great acidic balance.

Something in new wants to try this in 7 years for some reason.

Would be awesome with crudo.

It’s one of those wines that is an incredibly great version of what it’s supposed to be.

Poggio Le Volpi

Epos Frascati Superiore 2010

Tasted 16/10/2016

Third out of 3 bottles we bought during honeymoon trip 4 years ago. Being captured by heavy rain at Castel Gandolfo (residence of Pope), we nestled at lovely cellar tasting Poggio Le Volpi wines. Our photographer called us urgently to depict with double rainbow, whilst all locals were crying and shouting "auguri" )))

Frascati Superiore (Malvasia di Candia / Malvasia del Lazio / Trebbiano 50/40/10), harvested late, fermented in 40-hl oak vats for 40 days, kept on lees 3 months.

Dense brass to orange color, yellow gold glitters.
Surprisingly fresh nose of mint, sea salt, medlar, wet limestone, kumquat, roasted almond, touch of withered grass.
Off-dry (despite raising) palate, medium in body with quite lively acidity. Flavors of buckthorn, yellow plum, tangerine, soaked apple, apricot. Herbs on background.
Buckthorn, citrus peels and ginger apricot on slowly vanishing finish.
Was nice pair to flounder fillet.
8.5* actual, 9.0* considering other 2 bottles tasted "young".

Podere Pradarolo

Vej 270 Bianco Antico 2007

A so called orange wine so much exciting as few. Pradarolo it's both a location and name of this phenomenal organic (organic for real) winery. Specifically this label - vintage 2007 - shows the number 270 which stands for the very long days of maceration (90 days pumping + 180 days submerged cap). After 16 months of aging in large oak casks + 6 months at least in the bottle, here we have this outstanding wine originated from 100% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica grapes. Despite (or because?) the extreme winemaking technique and extremely long maceration this golden beverage goes down simply as fermented grape juice to light up the eternal mind with the electric body. Though, pairing this wine with authentic Comté du Jura 10 months aged by a farmer from a fresh market in Lyon it is just a mystical experience. Thanks to my mate @Angelo Montagnoli — 10 years ago

You must try it with a "pollo alla cacciatora" Roman style obviuosly, in my opinion the wine already smells and tastes of it. And i'd be curious about matching it with asian food too specially duck. I love this wine but i must admit that this vintage stands out from all the other. Bella Gae!! ;)

@Ceccherini Cristiano what a pairing: pollo "ruspante" alla cacciatora! Definitely I will do it as soon as I can, I agree it should work "alla grande" as well with peking duck! Bacioni dude 😘
