We have spent the past few weeks tasting A LOT or Portuguese wine and we are consistently amazed by what we are tasting. These wines are intriguingly diverse, delicious, and incredible values. When you hear of Portugal and wine, most minds jump right to Port, the famous fortified wines of the country. As Port consumption has fallen over the past few decades, savvy Portuguese winemakers started making dry table wines from the traditional grapes used for Port. These beautiful, fruit and spice driven reds opened the world’s eyes to the treasure trove of indigenous grape varietals this country has to offer. Due to its relative isolation, Portugal is not awash in a sea of internationally ubiquitous varietals found in many other “value” regions. Read on for some of our favorite new finds…
I’m not sure that we have ever had such an eagerly anticipated wine arrival at The Wine Bottega! I don’t think Matt actually slept the night before this wine arrived. It’s like Christmas and your birthday all rolled up into one…This wine comes from the lovely and talented Arianna Occhipinti. Only in her 20’s, this amazing woman has already achieved legendary status for her singularly elegant Frappato. The 2008 Occhipinti SP68 Rosso di Vittoria, Sicily is a new project that blends Frappato with Nero D’Avola in the style of Cerasuolo di Vittoria. The result is beautful, fresh and just amazingly drinkable. It’s a wine that puts a smile on your face and adds a bit of Sicilian sunshine to a cold New England winter. I’m not just waxing poetic here, it really is a joy to drink! We’ll be opening it at next Friday’s Valentine’s Tasting!
