Brunello, Chianti Classico, Nobile and Prosecco Superiore 2012 U.S Tour Opens February 7 in NY

February 06, 2012 by serge the concierge

I will not be in Italy for Preview of Vino Nobile beginning on February, 18 at the Fortress of Montepulciano.

I will make up for it in a small way by attending the Italian Wine Masters tasting in New York on February 7 which opens their 2012 U.S Tour.

20 wineries who belong to Consorzio del Vino Nobile di Montepulciano will be amongst the 100 or so producers at the event.

The other 3 members of this quartet of top Italian wine producing regions present are Brunello, Chianti Classico and Prosecco Superiore (for the bubbly).

One of the producers I will meet is Terre di Melazzano which besides making Chianti Classico wines invites visitors to stay for Farmhouse Vacation.

If you are interested in wine technical poetry check Winemaking Glossary shared by Consorzio.

The music of words like 'Acescenza' which stands for Volatility (When a wine assumes an altered, vinegary, acidic odour and flavour to excessive acetic acid) don't make you think of anything offensive.

Grappa Green or Olive Green, Organic Offerings from Cavalierino, Wine Too

Feb 7

It is common to make a green statement with Organic Olive Oil (unless the oil in question is organic in name only). More unusual I suppose is green (organic) Grappa. I tasted both the Organic Olive Oil and the Grappa Riserva from Cavalierino, an Italian producer present at Italian Wine Masters 2012 tasting today in New York. They also make wines, one of which is Vin Santo pictured above alongside olive oil and grappa. Since...
