Angelo Peretti
Yes, I understand, the title is just a ciofeche this time. But, you see, I just bought the entire discography of Lucio Battisti, and I listen in the car (which I will have made me nostalgic, you want). In short, this came to me in mind of songs: "Ten girls for me, Possoni enough." And as I review below some ten Groppello of Valtenesi, as I promised (promised?) Last week, here are the ten was the catalyst. And there they will go to illustrate so are the wines for me - now - be good, and I drank willingly from the first summer here, but not enough Possoni. In the sense that they still have room for improvement and focus more firmly on top. And what awaits me still further growth for the whole area, because other companies have blazon and history and vineyard. In short, courage: the time is right: I said and I repeat that I think you're about to fly, on the Lombard shore of Lake Garda.
About Baptists. That one of the ten girls, is certainly one of its most beautiful. What I really stuck to the head, his (a torment for me, that goes on for a couple of years, and I bought also the version recorded by others: that of the beautiful La Crus) is "And I think of you." And there's many others that give me the creeps. For example "I would like ... I would not ... But if you want (as you have heard the singing, too Antonella Ruggiero?). And "Our dear Angel?". I recognize you in that "but will never be enslaved." Okay: digressions. I go back to
Groppello. Story below it, of the ten that I chose, but they do not cover the full rossista VALTENESI. Because there the groppello (grape) should also end up in blends (alas: obsolete technique) or blend (cheers: here we are) with other varieties (Barbera, marzemino, sangiovese) for the Garda Classico Rosso (or Riviera del Garda Bresciano or Garda Bresciano, for the names if they are layered too many). And then I would say that ends up in wine-making experiments, with Rebus, for example, and other matters of table wines or IGT Benaco Bresciano. But this time I chose to tell only the label of bottles that bear the inscription monocultivar: Groppello. On the other reds, maybe, I will speak further on (by the way: with groppello you also Claret, pink)
Now, wines, finally. I put the double points, foil and into smilies. Proximate to say the wine as a subject, content. Faccini to say about my personal pleasure to drink.
The order is alphabetical, per producer.
Garda Classico Groppello Colombaio 2006 Cascina La Pertica Groppello drinkable, yes, and hence a lot 'of personality. And it is bell'azienda, Cascina La Pertica this: the front door and the red Zalt repeatedly tribicchierato. Ha, this Colombaio intrigantissimo nose: ripe fruit, nutmeg, camphor. Fruity mouth on advanced, mature, soft. With great emphasis on spice. And the sharp but not aggressive tannins. And below, firm and inviting, the fruit macerate.
86/100 - three Faccini happy :-) :-) :-)
Riviera del Garda Bresciano Gropèl 2004 Comincioli The Gropèl Gianfranco Comincoli is something of a work in progess, wine evolving style, marked as no one else the search continues for the mayor-Puegnago winemaker. Nose has a bit 'closed, but under no fruit macerate. Hot mouth, tannic, big, powerful. And yet much fruit (and cherries). There is spice. And good length.
85/100 - two happy :-) :-) Faccini
Riviera del Garda Bresciano Suler 2003 Comincioli Comincioli ago when wine and oil is not there to look half-measures. Saying that it is a little extreme, and this the its value, but also - please forgive me - the limit. That sometimes is fine to go in between, and therefore need better focus, but I know Gianfranco is a lot working there. That said, here is the Suler, Groppello withering long, long time. The nose is a bit 'compressed, but underneath there is lots and lots of fruit maturissimo. The mouth is rich, concentrated, powerful, fruttatissima, tannicissima.
86/100 - two happy :-) :-) Faccini
Garda Classico 2006 Groppello Castellina Costaripa Groppello smaller, so to speak, Costaripa. It left me thinking, which seems almost Groppello even last year, with the calmness of his already almost aristocratic. Nose ripe strawberries and plums. Slight spiciness. In the mouth, beautiful fabric tannic vellulato. And it is still on the fruit, very ripe. It has spice and length.
84/100 - two happy smilies and nearly three :-) :-)
Garda Classico 2004 Groppello Maim Costaripa so elegant a Groppello I had never found before. Maim is acronym stands for Matt and Imer. Vezzola family name. The first is the general manager of Bellavista, Franciacorta. Winemaker of the Year for my guide, Gambero & Slow. Costaripa Garda is the vineyard, the family business. The wine has a nose of red fruit and wilted ripening. There's strawberries and blueberry jam. Spezia. The mouth confirms the fruit macerate, but it has momentum and drink and juiciness. And there tannin well exposed, but senz'aggressività. Austere and vibrant whole.
88/100 - three Faccini happy :-) :-) :-)
Garda Groppello Mogre 2006 Delai When Sergio Sergio has won his last hesitation and you will truly realize what it's worth, well, ' Expect great things. His Fronsàga is already pretty red. This is Groppello the wheel. Nose of camphor and macerated fruit and spicy vein. Wide mouth on the result, perhaps now a bit 'closed by tannic note. He has, moreover, good and spicy. Even here, Valur confident.
80/100 - two happy :-) :-) Faccini
Garda Groppello 2005 loyal Monteacuto The Antonio is a gentle giant. To see his hands makes you fear, as big as a spade. But man is gentle, almost shy. It makes wine in the garage, which has a small house and now there is more (but the new cellar is in the air). Makes wines that have character. This confirms Groppello. Fruity nose of ripe red berries. Bocca tannic, powerful, warm, spicy, peppery. Good length. Power but also freshness. To try to drink. And if in the future will increase the elegance ...
85/100 - two happy :-) :-) Faccini
Garda Classico 2005 Groppello The closures Oh, that Alexander Luzzago face of the beautiful red Portis (read Portese, municipality of San Felice del Benaco) I already said some time ago talking about his Malborghetto (Rebus, merlot and barbera little). But it also has a nice Groppello. Fruit on the nose. Idem mouth, with hints of pepper and tannin maybe still quite green, which makes me say that it lasts, this red. Wine a bit 'rustic, therefore, but fresh and drinkable. Promotes it on trust.
80/100 - two happy :-) :-) Faccini
Groppello Garda Classico Riserva 2003 Arzano San Giovanni Pasini Pending (re) try the 2004, drunk in the draft version, I ritastato dell'Arzane in 2003. And I confirm what I wrote long ago, reviewing. A kind of prototype which aims Groppello opulence of the fruit. Son of 2003, fruttone overripe, but not cooked: cherry, cherries, strawberries. And in a subtle herbaceous alpine vein.
84/100 - two happy smilies and nearly three :-) :-)
Garda Classico 2003 Groppello Baloss Zuliani Baloss in Brescia is the meaning of crazy, crazy. If not worse. But the land is also a strip of Baloss Valtenesi. A trail of orchid and bog where there are reeds and olive trees and vineyards together. Strange area. We get by, the Zuliani, a cru Groppello. That nose has intriguing tones on decaying fruit and berries (dried mushroom, moss, even). The mouth has nice fruit and round. Good drinks, but also well-defined tannins. Continue this evolved fruit notes, accompanied by forest scents. Beautiful length and tannins.
84/100 - two happy :-) :-) Faccini
