Rosso d'Asia - 2004   Publish my opinion   Add a point of sale for this wine
Red  |  Oltrepò Pavese DOC  (Lombardia, Italy)

Brilliant dark ruby colour, rich bouquet with ripe fruits, red berries, leather and spices. On palate, this well-balanced full-bodied wine, which improves with age, reveals an extremely dense fruit. The tannins and the anthocyanins draw the glass sides with coloured arches full of glycerine.
It is another good wine I found in Oltrepò Pavese. Wine made with the heart.

Oltrepò Pavese Barbera - 2005   Publish my opinion   Add a point of sale for this wine
Red  |  Oltrepò Pavese DOC  (Lombardia, Italy)

Maybe you know the Barbera from Piemonte....you should try the one from the Oltrepo Pavese!!
The Albani estate grows their grapes using agricultural methods that are sustainable, thereby allowing us to attain that originality of style that can only be transmitted to a wine naturally by an individual site. They pay great attention to the land, especially in respect of the wild vegetation that springs up between the rows, so enabling the vines to grow in complete balance. They strictly refuse to use chemical fertilizers. Neither they use any systemic products, herbicides, insecticides or anti-botrytis treatments.

Gaggiarone - 2004   Publish my opinion   Add a point of sale for this wine
Red  |  Lombardia  (Italy)

A real genuine wine, that make fly your mind to the hot Italian summers, made of sun, relax, balm-cricket sound and skin burned by the sun.

This wine is perfect with your BBQ made of red meat with roasted potatoes or fried potatoes. It is also wonderful with rice and Milanese cutlet.
