Tasting 12th of October

The first wine of this week is no less than the great sparkling La Planta from Mas Gomà. Situated one hour from Barcelona, this family  owned winery works only with native varieties in biodynamic. La Planta is a traditional method of sparkling wine, made from Macabeo  and Xarel-lo. The yeasts present in the bottle to add creamy notes and offset the acidity while avoiding the use of sugar. A very elegant and refreshing way of starting the tasting!

With a view of the sea, Davide and Marco produce wines with witty names and their own character on the hills of Abruzzo. Lammidia already famous for their beautiful, fresh and funky wines, has proven that with old and classic grapes vinified with concrete and amphora, can do a lot. Rosh is a light red, refreshing and on the wild strawberry side. Perfect transition from summer rosé to light winter reds.  

Almost 40 years ago, three friends, all passionate about their agricultural roots, founded the Valli Unite estate to keep traditional farming alive. Situated in the Piedmont region, the cultivation is organic and the grape varieties are natives. Marmote is a pure Croatina. Evocative red wine, its spiciness, crisp acidity and good alcohol balance will take you straight to the hills of Colli Tortonesi.
