Wines for the Weekend: John Wilson on two wines from Tuscany
SuperValu has an Italian wine sale running until Wednesday, June 7th. It features many familiar names and no less than five varieties of prosecco. In addition to the wines featured here, I enjoyed the Millefiori Pinot Grigio , the Emotivo Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and the Sammicheli Chianti Riserva .
Today, two wines from Tuscany. Vermentino, known as Rolle in France, has grown in popularity in recent years, partly because it retains acidity in warm climates. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is no relation to Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, another Italian favourite. It is a region in Tuscany and the primary grape is Sangiovese.Plump peaches with green almonds and a rounded finish. Drink solo, with salads, or summery pasta dishes. Abv 12.5%, €10.
