Join me as I learn a little about wines. This list of Italian wines are widely distributed in America.
Barolo: A dry, ruby-red, full-bodied wine with a
smooth, velvety taste. It is produced in
Piedmont.
Barbera: A delicate dry or semi-sweet wine whose
bouquet improves with age. Also produced
in Piedmont.
Bardolino: A clear, light, ruddy wine, with a pleasingly
dry taste. It should be drank while
still young. Made in Venetia.
Valpolicella:
An excellent, deep ruby-colored wine with a delicate bouquet and mellow taste. Wonderful
with any kind of meat dish. A Venetian
wine.
Chianti: Probably the best known of Italian reds, this
Tuscan wine has a slightly prickly taste when young which disappears as the
wine ages.
Brolio: Very much like Chianti, it is grown in the
same neighborhood in Tuscany. Like
chianti, also, it improves with age.
Ciro
di Cababria:
A deep, ruby-red wine which should be allowed to mature to develope its
full flavor.
Faro: A Sicilian wine of a bright ruby color with
an excellent bouquet and flavor.
