We have done!
1st Araldica Piemonte Cortese 2022 1,080 yen
The food is Italian-style, so I chose Italian wine.
It was a white wine made from 100% Cortese grown in Piemonte.
As usual, it has a pure fruit flavor with a strong sense of transparency, fresh acid reminiscent of green apples and a pleasant minerality.
With this, a little over 1,000 yen is worth it.
2nd Araldica Piemonte Barbera 2022 1,080 yen
Red is also from Piemonte.
Barbera is a grape variety native to Piemonte.
It’s a variety that you don’t see that often in Japan.
Recently this wine is quite my favorite.
I felt the flavor of red fruit reminiscent of Pinot Noir, the crisp acidity and the refreshing taste.
Halfway through, I changed from my usual wine glasses to Burgundy-shaped glasses, and it looked like the Burgundy of the north.
I think this is a super good value.
