Country Mix 106.8fm WineSpot Italian Wines August 12th 2009


Italian Wines – wines from the Veneto region
We tasted the Montezovo Valpolicella Ripasso 2005 RRP 18.95, a real Monica Belluci of a wine, full-bodied and voluptuous! A beautiful wine, bags of flavour and so smooth and drinkable even after 3 years in oak barrels.

Our White was the Zenato Lugana 2008 RRP 14.95 from Lake Garda, another perennial favourite of mine. Wines produced from the Lugana grape are well worth checking out.
I reckon they have a lot more to offer in terms of aromas and flavour than most Pinot Grigios.
You can listen to my weekly winespot every Wednesday morning between 10 and 11am on Country Mix 106.8fm.
