A surprise visit from Piemontese winemaker
Giuseppe Vajra! The wines, as always, were fantastic and Giuseppe is truly a delight.
The Loire is distinguished among all other French wine regions for its dizzying diversity of wines. This can be attributed to the sheer size of the region, and the nearly two millenia of documented wine production history. Not to mention the countless changing cultural and political forces over history, whose conflict and confluence it would be impossible to explicate within the boundaries of this introduction. Read on for more and for tonight’s lineup…
What a treat it was to have the whole lineup open from Tenuta delle Terre Nere. It was fascinating to see how the wines seemed to come into focus over the course of several hours. Each showed their own charm, though there were a couple of pleasant surprises. The debut release of the “Cuvee delle Vigne Niche” really turned some heads in highlighting the Burgundian attributes of the carricante varietal. Another debut, from the recently purchased “Santo Spirito” vineyard, showed a youthful vibrancy and a promising future. The “Feudo di Mezzo” and “Prephylloxera” bottlings shared center stage, each wowing tasters with an acrobatic display of flavors and textures.
