How To Make Luna's Lion Hat

Gambero Rosso - 2010

With memories of brighter?

- Most tusovka familiar and semi- drunken- familiar people, most of which came to drink good wine. Someone, of course, and worked hard, armed with not only glass, but with a notebook and a pen:)

- About glasses , by the way, remember. On the table at the entrance were two types of glasses - smaller and easier to water (closer to the door) and Shpigelyau "for wine (away, so not all of them paid attention). A company spokeswoman, "SIMPL" named Katya (table Manufacturer San Guido where all bursting, even after all there would have been SASSICAI A) flatly refused to pour into small glasses and all chasing the "right" glasses. It seemed a little courteous ...

- Compared to Gambero Rosso 2009 (about which he wrote at the time, see here ) this year seemed a little poorer (there was no such SAN FELICE ).

- GAJA ( Barbaresco, Brunello "Pieve Santa Restitute", Ca'Marcanda Toscana igt ) of DP-Trade has not held until the end, quickly ran out, did not have time to try.

- Has pleased presence at the exhibition Anna Abbono , housewives MARCHESI DI BAROLO in which I was fortunate enough to visit this fall. Their Barolo Sarmassa 2006 just great! I am glad that soon wines from the "Marchesi ..." will appear soon in an assortment of my company!

- many discoveries for themselves did not do more, "refresh the memory" so to speak. little rusty as a subtle and fragrant white Vermentino from COLLEMASSARI-GRATTAMACCO!


on either side of this винных баррикад ; But at work:)


Abona with Anna, the mistress of Piedmont farms Marchesi di Barolo, which I visited this fall. Excellent Barolo Sarmassa really like Dolcetto d'Alba dop Madonna di Como!


In company with Maarten Leereveld (Commercial Director COLLE MASSARI - GRATTAMACCO)


Tenuta San Guido (supplier - Simple) - producer the world-famous wine Sasikaya (Sassicaia) from Marquis Incisa della Roquette. Besides wine harvest in 2007, as usual from San Guido offered a "younger brother" Sasikayi - Guidalberto Toscana igt and two wines from Sardinia - Barrua Isola dei Nuraghi igt 2007 and Montessu Isola dei Nuraghi igt 2008. Techn. characteristics of these wines can be found here .
And that same Kate (the girl with a tail) Heroine comments)))


Tuscan wines from Castellare di Castellina. Met with these worthy wines at Vinitaly-2010 in Verona, Italy and April of this year (Read here ).
been submitted already familiar to me chianti "I Sodi di San Niccolò ", Toscana IGT'04 (wine time has become the top-10 the best Italian wines according Veronelli and № 4 in Wine Spectator'e!). Supplier-AST. Two other wines - supertoskanskie of Maremma Rocca di Frassinello & Le Sughere di Frassinello (supplier Vinica).


Wines from Abruzzo from the famous Masciarelli - Villa Gemma Montepulciano d'Abruzzi 2004 & Marina Cvetic Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 (soft, tender, malotaninnye fault. Rated 4 , 4 points). Cabernet had occasion try (to Vinitali-2010 in Russia, here ), and Villa Gemma tasted for the first time. Supplier - DP-Trade.
the curtain has already seen wines from Puglia from the famous I provider TORREVENTO. Pictured wine Vigna Pedale Castek del monte doc rosso riserva 2007 from my favorite class puliyskogo NERO DI TROY (or Uva di Troy). This manufacturer is certainly not bad (at exhibition was the owner Francesco Liantonio), but for me the best wines from this region will always be great bottle of ALBERTO LONGO (see here ) , not CONTI ZECCA (Simple), TORMARESCA (MBG) or DUE PALME (Fort) - wines from these companies were also on show.

In conclusion :
unfortunately failed to fully (Particularly understand it now, flipping through virtually empty notebook degusttsii from Gambero Rosso, 2010) to reach the best wines from this exhibition (bad wine was not here by definition, simply we can talk about different tastes!). Had a lot of time to friends, acquaintances, and time flowed inexorably by ... But still tried to off the best cream of the event.
