So our first Lewesian wine tasting event went down extremely well with a great group of people and some fantastic wines to boot!
Present at our new unit in Lewes we decided to show some great examples of different Italian wines. Kicking us off was the superb Prosecco Rustico Valdobbiadene NV from Nino Franco. This wine never fails to impress, creamy mousse with delicious apple and citrus notes. To follow we had the Fiano from Mandrarossa of Sicily. A gold medal winner and at only £6.95 a bargain, unique and delicious!
To follow came a flight of reds. Trescone from Lamborghini. A Sangiovese and Merlot blend, Bolgheri Rosso from Michele Satta, a Sangiovese/Cab/Merlot blend. Then two new wines from our most recent additions to our growing Veneto collection. The Valpolicella Ripassa of Corte Figaretto. An elegant, ripe wine of character and delight! Lastly the Amarone of Corte Figaretto which was superb too, ripe and ready now and elegant rather than a block buster. Long growing finish and impressive.
We finished off the evening with some great antipasti from Lazzati’s, Lewes’s premier Italian restaurant.
Thanks to all! next up Spain in September.
