It's a new month, so lets taste new wines! This Friday we will be showcasing wines from Cantiniere Imports with my friend Kristen Robinson. Cantiniere is a small importing company that specializes in Italian wines and spirits. I love what they do and always get excited when there is something new in their portfolio. This Friday we will be tasting wines from The Piedmont, Umbria, and Calabria.
The kids are going back to school and Summer is coming to an end. So for this Friday’s tasting I chose wines that are affordable and delicious, but also some slightly more expensive and very rich wines for the parents that want to treat themselves after a successful summer full of kids and camps.
I’m very lucky here at The Italian Market to get to meet people and taste wines from all over the world. I have a deep love for Italian wines, especially those made with Sangiovese. So it was wonderful to meet and taste with Alberto Passeri, agronomist and General Manager of the La Gerla wine estate in Tuscany.
In a world of Chateaus, Domaines, and Estates dominating our minds and directing our wallets, I wanted to shine a light on Wine Cooperatives (Co-ops). These are wine businesses that are owned and operated by a collected group of grape growers, that produce and sell wines made from the grapes of their members. These business can range in size from a small facility servicing just one town, to massive enterprises that encompass an entire region!
