Ombre Rosse

To celebrate Valentines Day, Paolo and I decided to go to a restaurants we had been to only once before, Enoteca Ombre Rosse in the city of San Trovaso near Treviso. Claudio, the owner, is well known for his large collection of wine, but also for his character- While waiting for our table to be ready, he offered us fresh glass of Pinot Bianco of the Azienda Drius di Cormons from the Fruili Venezia Giulia region. An interesting, well rounded, fuller bodied white, good for winter. The restaurant is very welcoming and I can only guess used to be the ground floor of someones home, after noticing details of where a fireplace used to be or the arrangement of walls. Theres a garden turned seating area outside great for warm summer nights paired with cool sparklers. Once seated we ordered a bottle of Chianti Classico by the Fontodi group, 2006 and checked out the menu. I choose an Insalata di Burrata (my favorite mozzarella) and a steak tartar for the main course; meanwhile Paolo went with the pasta fagiolo for an appetizer and guancine di vitello (or veal cheek) with polenta. Tasting our wine, we discovered that 70% of the ground used to create the grapes is biologic and creates a wine with 14% alcohol andof grand quality. It is still young, so the color was purple going towards ruby adn showed many legs. Fruity smells like rasberry, cherry and strawberry, with touches of violets, graphite, cloves, licquorish and anice. It was fresh and mineral, dry, warm and soft, with a large amount of tannin. Although my cold held me back from tasting everything perfectly, we both really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and wine.

Per San Valentino Dana e io siamo andati all'Enoiteca Ombre Rosse di San Trovaso di Treviso.
Il proprietario Claudio persona molto conosciuta nel mondo del vino ci accoglie al suo bancone con un buonissimo Pinot Bianco dell'Azienda Drius di Cormons della regione Friuli Venezia Giulia. Un vino molto interessante e come lui sottolinea il miglior Pinot Bianco in circolazione, personalmente non so se il migliore ma sicuramnete molto buono lo era senz'altro. Il locale è molto confortevole e possiede anche un giardino dove d'estate si può pranzar e cenar al fresco. Eravamo i primi arrivati ma dopo il Drius il locale ha cominciato a riempirsi fino al completo. Passando in tavola i piatti selezionati comprendevano antipasti sia di pesce che di carne e dei primi e secondi piatti semplici ma ben eseguiti . Dana ha scelto una burrata con dei pomodorini e una tartare di carne mentre io ho optato per una pasta e fagioli e delle guancine di vitello con polenta. Un'altro antipasto ha poi fatto capolino: insalata di mare con pomodorini e basilico su una crosta di pane. Tutto molto buono. Il vino con il quale abbiamo accompagnato la cena era il Chianti Classico Fontodi 2006 con 14% di titolo alcolometrico. La bottiglia proviene dal cuore del Chianti Classico da una azienda biologica di circa 70 ettari. Il fluido ha un bel color porpora-rubino consistente; al naso molto intenso e ricco dalla frutta come l'amarena, ribes, lampone poi il floreale della classica viola mammola e ancora grafite, anice, liquirizia e chiodi di garofano. In bocca si sente molto bene la sua freschezza e la sapidità. Secco, caldo e morbido presente il tannino ancora vigoroso. Un buona bottiglia da accompagnare con piatti di carne più o meno importanti.
