I already said and written that I'm with screw cap. In the sense that if the wine is aged for very long, I find the modern screwcap closure practical and intelligent and devoid of substantial risks. What then, if you do not finish the bottle at lunch, and tightened the hold (fairly) well-preserved until dinner time. It is not bad option, allow. Even better would be for the wine bar, ch'evita to let his mouth open and slows down the oxidation. Oh well, not easy for the manufacturer and the retailer and consumers switch to this "new" closure, which certainly mett'in aside a bit 'of the ritual poetry of wine. The
however, is that the screwcap abroad at their request, especially where there is no long tradition of wine. It also used abroad, producers wine making. Now all of New Zealand Sauvignon in screw cap. We are beginning to see in Burgundy, also on a cert'importanza wines. And there is in Germany for Riesling in Austria or for Grüner Veltliner. And maybe it will be for the affinity to the Austro-Germanic world, but the Freie Weinbauern Südtirol - the association of the free tenants of South Tyrol led by Josephus Mayr - you are also converted to the screw cap. Well! Someone wanted to give the tone.
is the news that most struck me about visiting, in Bolzano, the annual meeting of Vinea Tirolensis, the classic tasting afternoon-evening (Monday, 15 to 21: mica have time to lose, 'sti vigneron suddtirolesi) of Freie Weinbauern.
Please, not everyone made the turn. And the cork is still the choice of absolute prevalence. But the screwcap has begun to see some big names on the bottles of wine from Alto Adige: Falkenstein, for example, tribicchierato Gambero Rosso & Slow Food for the His Riesling or Unterortl (those of Castel Juval, so to speak). And the same choice as others do, little ones, as Unterhofer, just 2.3 hectares of land in Oltradige. And it is a beautiful act of courage. And opening to the world. Praise be to them.
wine now. And I must say with regret that I found on a white 2006, sounding a little 'less than m'attendessi, and compared with the 2005 seems like a good step below. But achieving this is the fun part: here the year shall be interpreted, and what is it accepts and respects. Anyway, a few bottles in the great sweep there this year.
reds I've tried less. I almost jumped at the foot 'of the Blauburgunder because I'd made a binge of Pinot Noir in the competition Laimburg (too bad if this was the new year: not everyone can enjoy standing up and turning the tables: ah, if there was room for those who like me, then to write about!). I shelved Lagrein (gotta make some choices, when the wines are more than two hundred). And I threw myself on the Slaves, curious about how this vine were interpreted child who is finding new interest, now that you want to drink wine.
Here, in order, among the best things that I put in the glass, knowing that in a few hours you feel carefully, yes and no quarter to what is on display (so, who knows beautiful things that I'm lost).
Ten whites and five reds.
Whites
Eisacktaler 2006 Manfred Kerner Nössing
The usual white champions of Val d'Isarco: great wine. Smell the fruit explodes yellow grass and alpine flowers. Fascinating. Fishing in the mouth is fleshy and firm. And there's depth and richness. And drink vibrant. An anthology by Kerner. Three Faccini
happy :-) :-) :-)
Eisacktaler Sylvaner 2006 Manfred Nössing
not had the Grüner Veltliner, Manfred Nössing, and I am told is a great Grüner. But with the resounding Kerner had another great white dusting: This Sylvaner. Nettle herb and sage. Elegant and graceful. Long. Three Faccini
happy :-) :-) :-)
Vinschgau Falkenstein Riesling 2006
Another beautiful vintage for Riesling Falkenstein, Val Venosta, a classic now. To be drunk young, I would say, as the previous vintage. The nose offers a rich bouquet of mountain flowers. Luscious mouth and tight, fresh and resinous. Three Faccini
happy :-) :-) :-)
Gewürztraminer 2006 Mazzon Gottardi
Go stand by Bruno Gottardi senz'assaggiare Pinot Noir may seem heresy. But I will have another occasion, while the Gewurz is rarer to find it. And it is among the best whites of South Tyrol. Fabulously rich in fruit and spice. Three Faccini
happy :-) :-) :-)
Pinus Gewürztraminer 2006 Zirmerhof
surprise. Nice surprise. Josef Perwanger has just 0.6 hectares of vineyard. Gewürztraminer 2006, in barrels made of acacia, is splendid. Citrine (even memories of fiord orange), finely spicy, fresh, long time. Three Faccini
happy :-) :-) :-)
Eisacktaler Sylvaner 2006 Garlider
Elegant bouquet: flower and grass in alpine meadow. And his mouth is an explosion of floral white. And then there remember herbaceous nettle. And sumatura yellow fruit. And beautiful veins of minerals that make it even more intriguing to drink. Two
happy smilies and nearly three :-) :-)
Eisacktaler Kerner 2006 Strasserhof
the nose, nectarine crisp, when it is not yet fully mature. And then sage and nettle. It is a thin vein of minerality. The mouth opening is aromatic. And tension. And drink nervous. Maybe a hair more gently. Two Faccini
happy :-) :-)
Vinschgau Weissburgunder 2006 Falkenstein Falkenstein
again, but this time with the Pinot Blanc. What is wine that have great power drink. A white man who has character and personality nervous. There is good long, crisp and fruit is grafted a thin vein of minerality. Two Faccini
happy :-) :-)
Weissburgunder Strahler 2006 Stroblhof
Stroblhof is Oltradige, for Appian. And it has a pretty good Pinot Blanc, fresh and strung the right, a lot of vegetable, flower and bell'eleganza with a spiciness that reminds me of the white pepper. It has good length. Two Faccini
happy :-) :-)
Julian Bronner Bronner 2006 Lieselhof
The vine is reduced to nothing as quantity, saved from oblivion. Product with zero chemistry in the vineyard and winery, this white nose has fascinating: green leaves, yellow fruits mature litchi. Mouth aromatic, then. And hardiness. Two Faccini
happy :-) :-)
Reds
Pinot Noir 2005 Mason Manincor
Now, yes, I said that I drank a little Pinot Noir, but since the 2004's was from my Manincor liked their so the contest Neumarkt, I wanted to try the new vintage. And it is another year of great pleasure. Elegant red and bell'appagamento. Three Faccini
happy :-) :-) :-)
Vernatsch Wolfsthurn 2006 Stachlburg
The drink to dry, this slave of the Val Venosta. Between the nose and spicy fruttatino. Mouth that has fruit and vegetable vein. Fresh and a bit 'tannins. Pleasant. Simple and complex whole. What do you want more from a red eleven and a half degrees? Two Faccini
happy :-) :-)
Vernatsch 2006 Gumphof
Other Slaves. From the beautiful pale red. Already looking at him, s'to Piquette, you feel like drinking. Nose of raspberry. Fruttino mouth juicy. Fresh, yet even with his temper. And there is tannin measured. If only there was a bit 'longer than ... Two Faccini
happy :-) :-)
Vernatsch Amadeus 2006 Lieselhof
is not filtered, this slave: the company works that way. So it's almost cloudy in the glass. And it is very rustic wine, but also beautiful substance. Red and complex earthy and peppery notes Fruttino to mature. I'd like some 'fresh longer. Two Faccini
happy :-) :-)
Vernatsch Campenn 2006 Unterhofer
Two wines, one white and one red, both in the screw cap. The Slave is a wine of no great pretension, yet tasty and pleasant to drink. Maybe missing a bit 'in depth, but fruttatina mouth and pepper and features rather long.
A happy little face and almost two :-)
