Happy Tasting Tuesday Everyone! Shall we continue our discovery around the Northern Rhone? I've brought a Saint-Joseph AOC from Cave de Tain @cavedetain , the longest and the most diverse appellation in the area. I am sharing some information about the AOC in my stories, please make sure you check them out to understand the complexity of this area. Now let's see the tasting notes of this 2019 vintage Nobles Rives. The wine has an appealing and vivid ruby red color and a medium plus viscosity. Intense fruity nose with ripe blackcurrant, cherries, plums and cassis; black olives, black pepper and sweet cooking spices such as cloves and cinnamon with a touch of vanilla. A dry wine with high acidity, medium plus alcohol feel with smooth, ripe tannin structure. A medium plus bodied wine with flavours identical of the ones from the nose and has a medium plus finish. I consider this as a very good quality which can be kept for another 5-8 years and drink it on 16-18°C. Perfect to pair with red meats from the grill on a BBQ for example, even with some heavier poultry dishes and hard cheeses. Have you tried a Saint-Joseph before? How was your experience? P.S.: We have tasted this wine Live with David from Cave de Tain and shared a bunch more information about it, so feel free to take a look on that too! . . . . . #wineknowlegde #wineaddicted #rotwein #redwinelover #rhonewine #frenchwine #syrah #weinporn #hermitage #vörösbor #wineindustry #winebusiness #wineblogger #wineinfluencer #wineeducation #winetastingnotes #winetasting #weinliebe #weinliebhaber #vinrouge #womeninwine #neverstoptasting #neverstoplearning #winesaroundtheworld #winestyle #travellingsommelier #sommeliere #wineeducator #wineexperience (at Saint-Joseph, Rhone-Alpes, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWESaCFNaYj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Let's continue our study about Barbera and the DOCG Barbera d'Asti which has another sub-region that earned its own DOCG (Denominazione di origine controllata e garantita) classification - the highest quality wines in Italy. The Nizza DOCG situates in the central region of Asti and only wines made out of 100% barbera can qualify for this labelling term. Bricco Laudana is the name of a south-facing ridge of hills between Vinchio and Mombercelli. I am sharing informations about the DOCG in my stories, check them out for more, now let's focus on our Nizza Riserva DOCG from 2016 by Vinchio e Vaglio Serra Winery @vinchiovaglioserra and its tasting notes! It has bright deep ruby color and high viscosity. We can smell plums, blackberries, black cherries, mint, cinnamon, cloves, black olives, dark chocolate, tobacco, vanilla, and earthy notes in the glass. Intense and complex nose. A dry wine with high acidity, ripe, medium plus, smooth tannins, high alcohol translates a full-body with flavours of ripe fruits (plum, blackberry, blackcurrant) with the same spices from the nose plus liquorice, tobacco and a long finish. An excellent quality wine which best to drink in the next 5-10 years on 16-18°C. It is perfect to have it next to red meat dishes (grilled or braised), pork ribs, even with a good burger or enjoy it on its own. Have you tasted a wine before from the Nizza DOCG? . . . . . #wineknowlegde #wineaddicted #rotwein #redwinelover #weinausitalien #italianwine #barbera #weinporn #vorosbor #vörösbor #wineindustry #winebusiness #wineblogger #wineinfluencer #wineeducation #winetastingnotes #winetasting ##weinliebe #weinliebhaber #vinrouge #womeninwine #neverstoptasting #neverstoplearning #winesaroundtheworld #winestyle #travellingsommelier #sommeliere #wineeducator #wineexperience (at Wien, Österreich) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNr8FlaLLpe/?igshid=m2oerc2crt0d
