Tasting Notes of Wines around the World
The colour is pale gold. On the nose pineapple, apricot, golden apple, and some banana. In the mouth well balanced, smooth, with a tasty finish that last for a satisfying while.
This wine is produced by Antica Cantina Leonardi under the Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone DOC, a white wine appellation situated northwest of Rome, near Lake Bolsena, in central Italy’s Lazio region. Continue reading “Poggio del Cardinale 2019”
The colour is medium straw. On the nose strong notes of butter and vanilla. For my taste a bit too similar to a Californian Chardonnay. In the mouth very fresh. The aftertaste is short. This is a wine that promises a lot on the nose but delivers little in the mouth.

Mostly cheap, but nevertheless enjoyable. Like this Buttafuoco dell’Oltrepò Pavese DOC that I bought at a Supermarket for 3.99 EUR. An easy to drink wine that paired well with the sandwich filled with rolled bacon I had for lunch. Continue reading “C’era una volta… 2019”
