After the big typhoon passed, it was a terrible hot day today.
1st Palazzi Catarratto 2018 920 yen New Arrivals
It is new arrivals from Sicily Italia.
It is made from 100% Catarratto, which is a local grape in the island.
You can find a lot of simple style Italy wines under 1000 yen.
However, this one absolutely has an additional high quality, I think.
I like fresh fruits, nice acidity and fine minerals.
The taste is very clean and natural.
It has all of the tastes that I want for daily white wine.
I think it is a kind of Marquis de Beau Rond in Italy.
2nd Palazzi Nero D’Avola 2017 920 yen New Arrivals
The red is made from 100% Nero D’Avola grown in Sicily.
Nero D’Avola is a local grape in south Italy.
The grape ordinary becomes the dark and full-bodied style.
However, it is a light, cool and elegant style red wine.
I felt floral ripe black cherry and plum fruits flavors with a hint of spice.
I also felt soft tannins, gentle acidity.
I tasted this with the near ice temperature.
It was very, very tasty!!
I think it is a kind of Marquis de Beau Rond in Italy, too.
