Chianti - Vinho Verde - Rioja
1 - ITALY Chianti Castello di Farnetella 2023
Chianti 75cl
Sangiovese
Italy - Felsina Castello di Farnetella 2023
Cave de France's take: A typical Tuscan red wine from the Chianti appellation, Colli Senesi covers a sub-region of the famous Sienese hills. Made primarily from the Sangiovese grape, this lovely Italian wine may also contain a small percentage of other authorized red grape varieties, which adds nuances without masking the essential character of Sangiovese.
The color is intense ruby red, sometimes with garnet reflections depending on its age.
The nose reveals aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and plum, accompanied by subtle notes of violet, licorice, and sweet spices.
2 - PORTUGAL Vinho Verde Docil 2023
Vinho Verde ("green wine") Portugal - 75cl
100% Loureiro grape
Niepoort
Cave de France's take: Niepoort's Docil Vinho Verde is a delicate and refined white wine, born from the Loureiro grape grown in typical granitic soils of the Lima Valley. Its pale color, adorned with greenish reflections, suggests a light and promising atmosphere. The bouquet hints at fresh citrus and white flowers, while the palate, carried by vibrant acidity, is distinguished by its purity, tonicity, and a persistent mineral finish.
3 - SPAIN Palacios Remondo La Vendimia 2022
Red Spanish wine - 75cl
90% Garnacha 10% Tempranillo
Bodegas Palacios Remondo - 2022
Cave de France's take: A young and expressive red cuvée from the famous Spanish wine region Rioja, produced by Bodegas Palacios Remondo, led by renowned winemaker Álvaro Palacios. La Vendimia is designed to offer an accessible and modern approach to Rioja, with winemaking that prioritizes freshness and fruitiness.
After partial whole cluster maceration, the wine is aged for approximately four months in tanks and oak barrels, which gives it a supple structure and beautiful harmony.
