Wine from Savoie
Filter
Savoie is a wonderful wine region that has its locale in the eastern part of France. Lying south of Lake Geneva and bordering Switzerland, it is also south of Lac Leman. The geography of Savoie features mountainous hilltops and lush valleys that are evocative of its bordering country, Switzerland. The region is noted for its white wines which are crisp and fresh. In fact, there are some vineyards in the region that feature the Swiss and Savoie flag on their labels. There are two appellations in Savoie that the region is known for. These include Vinde de Savoie, and Bugey. Both of these regions demonstrate the fragmented differences caused by the rough terrain. Wines from Vin de Savoie are separated by lakes, towns and mountains as is Bugey. The region has a red wine that is known all over the globe, although Savoie is known for white wine. Producing deep colored peppery tasting wines, the Mondeuse grape is blended with Gamay and Pinot Noir grapes giving the reds a lighter color. When the Mondeuse grape is blended with Beaujolais or Burgundy grapes it is much darker. Because Savoie is so isolated, there is very little reds or whites produced.

Ruffino Alauda Toscana IGT is made from 40% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot, 25% Colorino.
An elegant, full-bodied wine, Alauda is a harmonious sum of its parts. Rich with varietal flavors of plum and cherry from the Merlot and layered with ripe berry flavors from the Cabernet Franc, and unique balsamic and dark chocolate notes from the Colorino. The extended oak aging process integrates the blend while providing tertiary flavors of sweet spice and soft, elegant tannins for a lingering finish. This wine will age gracefully for decades.
Gambellara Lessini Durello Spumante Brute is 100% Durella.
Color: Soft and bright straw yellow
Bouquet: A citrus fresh fruit bouquet
Taste: Slightly acid, fresh, with green apple hints
Perlage: A fine and persistent perlage
The grapes are collected and transported to the winery in small trailers to prevent the grapes from being squashed, then follows immediate separation of the skins from the stalks purifying of the must and long fermentation at 18 °C.
This is a Charmat method (The secondary fermentation didn't take place in the bottle, but in a vat, which makes it slightly different than the Champenoise method used in Champagne).
To serve with seafood starters, soups, egg dishes, shellfish, seafood and white meat. Very good as aperitif. The perfect match is with the "Baccalà alla Vicentina", the traditional dish of our land.
