This time I want to tell a white almost not there. In the sense that yes, there are bottles, but they are little. And, in fact you can only drink on the homeland. Because the earth is just a bit. Small. And we're with the wine grape unmentionable: Tocai Friulano implanted at the border of Lombardy-Veneto, but tocai say - you know - no, that otherwise EU lawmakers are crying, having decided that the name is just the Hungarians. And so once brought the wine label in the name Tocai di San Martino della Battaglia, and instead is now simply San Martino della Battaglia. And the name is that of a population of Desenzano del Garda. It has tiny vineyard on the sidelines of the clay also Bianchisti Bianchisti of Lugana. Low hills hinterland of Lake Garda. You
, San Martino, a land that still seems to drip the blood of the battle - the famous - the Risorgimento. And I wonder if you still write with a capital letter, the Risorgimento. And if schools are even now studying those fights. There, at San Martino and Solferino s'ammazzarono thousands, struck by musket balls that broke the limbs and sharp iron which tore the flesh. It was unheard of suffering: June 24, 1859, 40 thousand were killed and wounded. It was also, that pain absurdly huge generator of solidarity, by the locals. And lit by a Swiss, Jean Henri Dunant, who in those days of death and tears came up with the idea of \u200b\u200bthe Red Cross.
Now, I do not know how it is acquired instead the idea of \u200b\u200bplanting a vineyard in San Martino Tocai. Somewhere I read that it would be proper to bring to Furlani, because we would stop bringing cows in transhumance. Who knows.
I also know that after an initial success, the tocai sammartinese has slowly fallen into oblivion, and now there was hardly anyone who vinified, especially in times of prevailing red, the nineties. Now, however, the wave of white mount again. And maybe there's a hand in the success of his cousin Lugana. In short, here is that St. Martin is back to get out of the shell. It is a white who enforces. They do it in a few, make it a little, but it deserves attention, because you drink some good drinks.
Below you something on behalf of the three I have, in fact, drinking this year. Neither have the whole production, but there are neighbors, which I think there are two or three more just, and those, alas, is to me happened to the keys.
The price? I do not have, but - quiet - are a few Euros a bottle. So I am bowling to buy with confidence.
The order of tasting is alphabetical by company.
San Martino della Battaglia Pergola 2006 Civielle Civielle Valtenesi going to wineries and Lugana. The wine has almost golden color, traversed by veins herbaceous. Nose of ripe yellow fruit. Fleshy mouth well, maybe some 'sweets, here. And hints of chamomile (which are characteristics), and even tea. And there is good length and freshness integrated. It is not my style, with that soft, but it is well done. Two Faccini
happy :-) :-)
San Martino della Battaglia 2006 Cobu comes slowly to the nose of white flowers, and is therefore reluctant to florality this San Martino. The mouth is rustic. As a sandpaper rasp. It has freshness and relief under the chamomile and hints of hay and then not maturissimo yellow fruit, although high density. Wine seemingly simple, actually nice length and material. To observe. Two Faccini
happy :-) :-)
San Martino della Battaglia Field of the Chair in 2006 in Lake Hills I'd like to try it again now with the San Martino Formentini, because when I drank, at the end of June, was far too little in the bottle, and then closed again and shaken. But know that the range of the Chair is always nice wine, satisfying (I found the very good 2004). Fresco. Tasty. He pulp. White peach and clear memory. Two Faccini
happy :-) :-)
