I took an annual health examination.
1st Ante Hirpis Greco 2018 Sample Tasting
After two “No Wine Days”, I started tasting wine from a sample bottle.
Alberto, the owner of Cescon Winery in Veneto, introduced me this white wine.
It is made from 100% Greco, which is a local grape in south Italy, grown in Campania.
I felt very rich fruits aroma like a peach or apricot at first.
The taste is also very fruity.
I also felt a nice acidity and minerals.
It was very tasty.
I was sure again and again that Alberto knows a very good wine..
2nd Foncalieu NU.VO.TE 2018 Sample Tasting
Foncalieu is the winery that produces Marquis de Beau Rond.
It is a brand-new wine of the winery.
It is made from 100% Artaban, which is a new variety of French vines, grown in Languedoc.
The alcohol degree is very low as Languedoc wine, 11.5% !
I felt a very natural nuance, dense fruits and mild tannin.
It is a very concentrated red wine but very soft and mild.
It’s a very unique style of Languedoc wine.
Very interesting!
