Lux Wines of Italy Sampling
Hosted by Frank Maffei, Certified Specialist of Wine
Welcome back Frank as he samples wines fit for your Thanksgiving Feast.
Pieropan Soave Classico DOC: Produced by our friend Dario Pieropan, Winemaker. Made from the traditional grapes of the area Garganega and Trebbiano. "This wine is savory and fresh with aromas of orchard fruit and citrus while the palate offers creamy white peach, apple and lemon drop. A saline mineral note lingers on the finish."
For your Red Wine Selection Frank recommends Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre made using an innovative take on the 'ripasso' technique. "This wine is a deep ruby red and easily pairs with various Italian dishes, above all risottos, especially those flavored with saffron, porcini mushrooms and pork; classic dishes such as pasta with Amatriciana and Carbonara sauces, baked lasagna, gnocchi with gorgonzola cheese and walnuts; grilled meats and roasts."
