We interrupt our series on the wines of Italy twenty regions to present a great way Vino Novello, the Italian version of New Wine. Once a year, since early November, Italy releases Vino Novello of, to the delight of many, and the eternal disappointment of many others. We appointed new wines, including version Italian, and then test samples available locally. Want to be happy or disappointed by the offer of 2006? After reading this article, rush to his wine shop Bookmark and tasting wines. If you're happy or not, is probably fun.
What exactly is new wine (wine novello in Italy, the new wine, often Beaujolais nouveau in France)? The new wine is the first culture, published in early November. The exact date varies by country. In 2006, Italy permitted the sale of wine Novello Nov. 6, beating France, the main player in the market for new wines, a total of 10 days.
new wines are produced by a special method, carbonic maceration, in which all fermentation of the grapes in stainless steel tanks, often reaching a temperature of 25-30 degrees Celsius (77-86 degrees Fahrenheit). This process takes about 50-20 days and may be followed by the crushing of the grapes, then the traditional fermentation for a few days. Exact Procedure varies from one producer to another, but the wine is virtually free of tannins. The lack of tannins implies a short lifetime. If you do not drink the wine immediately, most people to finish the season of Easter.
New wines are usually red or purple. They tend to be fruity, tasting of cherries, strawberry, raspberry, banana, grapes and freshly squeezed juices, depending on the variety of grape used, production method and the area in which the grapes are grown. Critics talk of gum, lollipops, nail polish, and jello. Many argue that the new tastes of wine grape juice with alcohol. One thing is certain, if you do not like a particular wine news, do not maintain free to try again in two years. It will not improve over time.
Italy is one of the leading wine producers brought back into the market around 18 million bottles a year. Approximately one third of its production is exported to Germany. The most important Italian wine regions are Veneto and Tuscany again, followed by Piedmont and Trentino-Alto Adige. Let's take a closer look at two new wines.
Groom Spa Wine Review iNOS delle Dolomiti IGT 2006 Mezzacorona Vigneti $ 8.50 12%
Cantina di Novello del Veneto IGT Black 12% $ 8
I was a small wine shop and bought two bottles on the day the 2006 Beaujolais Nouveau was released released (November 16, 2006). Next I went to a large wine store, expecting additional offerings from Italy, but there was none. I bought a bottle Beaujolais Nouveau, I'll review in another article.
The Groom Mezzacorona is produced from native grapes and Teroldego Lagrein Trentino-Alto Adige in northeastern Italy. Interestingly, the grape is very tannic Teroldego. Furthermore, the Lagrein grape is known for fleshy wines. None of these features appeared in the final products.
Novello del Veneto wine, with a designer label, is made from Corvina and Rondinella grapes native Veneto region of northern Italy. Interestingly, Corvina grape is quite tannic, but you can not imagine to taste the final product. You may be familiar these two varieties are the major components of Valpolicella and other wines reputation from Veneto. I'll spare you the gushing marketing team intended to describe these two wines.
I first tasted these wines with braised, cooked slowly beef ribs and potatoes of the land. The Groom Mezzacorona was fruity, a good complement to fat food. He stayed in my mouth. By contrast, Veneto taste chewing gum, both with food and yourself.
The next tasting involved bagels and smoked salmon accompanied by a sweet sauce with artichoke caponata the grill, a delicious Italian-style salad composed of eggplants (including skin), tomatoes and onions. The Groom Mezzacorona was low when associated with salmon smoking, but is treated with the caponata. The wine showed its strength with the artichoke dip, without overwhelming. Veneto is slightly fruity, with smoked salmon, the taste of chewing gum and does not dominate.
Then I went to the cheese. Asiago is a semi-soft cheese of the two edges of Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto. The Groom Mezzacorona was almost pleasant with this type of cheese. Veneto did better, he came close to being a winner. Montasio Veneto is a strong cheese, produced in the Veneto region. This cheese Mezzacorona Groom dominated and made wine Veneto flat.
The final tasting consisted of a tortilla with non-imported Provolone cheese, and once again a side of caponata. The Groom Mezzacorona was round and tasted of fruit black, but was relatively short. It's more complicated when compared the caponata. Veneto Wine flavored gum. He also knew of black fruits and was short.
the final verdict. For many years, I was no fan of new wines. I liked the whole year, and am willing to change his mind. These two bottles gave no Because I move an inch. However, there are still Beaujolais Nouveau to taste and review. I'm a little disappointed, I bought the most expensive bottle available. It is hoped that works better than these two wines.
Levi Reiss has authored or co-authored ten books on computers and the Internet, but to be honest, he would rather just drink fine French or other wine, accompanied by the right foods. He teaches classes in computers at an Ontario French-language community college. Presently his wine websites are http://www.theworldwidewine.com and http://www.theitalianwineconnection.com
