For the first post about my interest, I tend to write about cooking but then this kind of white wine just bumped to me as my friend let me taste it and I was so into it. So here I am, talking about this nice, sweet sparkling white wine then. Furthermore, I’m a newbie in Wine’s World so don’t judge me with the information, I’m still trying my best to discover more about my interest.
So the name is the White Wine as I wrote above is Lambrusco bianco dell’Emilia IGP produced in 2012, it originally comes from Italia. The producer is Chiarli 1860, I will tell some information about the producer first and then will be more information about this lovely creature.
This is the picture of it I got in the internet since it got so many appearance recently. I will post the picture of the bottle I bought in Czech Republic also.
According to Chiarli.it, CHIARLI 1860 is the most ancient producer of Lambrusco and other local wines from Emilia Romagna. The Company was
founded in 1860.
Through the strictest selection of the best grapes, an experience acquired over more than 150 years and the scrupulous care in all stages of production, from vinification to bottling, the Chiarli brand guarantees quality for a wide range of prestigious wines from Emilia-Romagna.
So, where is Emilia-Romagna and what is Lambrusco. I will give some sufficient information and if you are interested more in this part of the information, I bet that you can google for full information. 😛
Where is Emilia-Romagna?
- Emilia-Romagna is a rich, fertile region of northern Italy, and one of the country’s most prolific wine regions which is sandwiched between Tuscany to the south, Lombardy and Veneto to the north and the Adriatic Sea to the east. Nine miles of Liguria is all that separates Emilia-Romagna from the Ligurian Sea, and uniqueness as the only Italian region with both an east and a west coast.
- Emilia-Romagna’s viticultural heritage dates back as far as the seventh century BC, ranking it among the older of Italy’s wine regions. Vines were introduced here by the Etruscans and later adopted by the Romans, who used the Via Aemilia road (after which the region is named) to transport wine between its cities.
- Emilia-Romagna’s wine production is divided evenly between whites and reds, the dominant vine varieties being Malvasia and Lambrusco (both in their various forms),Trebbiano, Barbera, Bonarda and of course Sangiovese.
What is Lambrusco?
Lambrusco is a brightly colored grape variety used to make sparkling red wines inEmilia-Romagna, northern Italy. More accurately, it is a collective term for a group of grape varieties – more than 60 Lambrusco varieties have been identified so far. Lambrusco vines are grown in several Italian wine regions, including Piedmont (Emilia-Romagna’s neighbor) and farther afield in Basilicata.
This is the version I bought in Czech Republic.
The alcohol content is 7,5% vol and I think this is suitable for people who don’t usually drink wine or just start to drink wine. You can also put it in the fridge and open it 15 mins before serving it, the serving temperature is around 8 – 10*C. Moreover, the wine has pale straw yellow color with green highlights. Its bouquet is delicate, fresh and fruity. The palate is well-balanced and lightly sweet with nice fruit flavors and a clean finish.
Actually before trying this, I have quit party for almost 2 months and I did not drink any alcohol drink and before, I don’t really like white wine (I guess I was not be able to enjoy the taste of it since I used to drink lots of heavy alcohol like vodka, tequila…). That’s why yesterday when I tried it, I was so amazed by the taste of it, it is like finally my taste has become normal again and I can finally understand why people like white wine in particular and Vin in general. It also made my night more comfortable as wine is the thing to help you sleep like a baby.
If you like sweet wine, I think this is totally suitable for you and any recommendation for food? Drink when you eat beef, lamb, pork, spicy food or with rich fish such as salmon but I think it is also suitable for light dishes as well.
Give it a try and tell me how you think about that!
Enjoy your day! 🙂
