Riserva dei Fondatori Saxi Cantina di Montecchia di Crosara


Unfortunately not everyone is cut out for living here in Venice, not that I always blame them. So on the eve of a close friend moving back home we decided to throw a party and drank way too much. Even though by the third bottle I was hardly able to understand white from red, I was sober enough to enjoy a rare bottle by Riserva Fondatori Saxi. This bottle is unique because it represents a new trend in wine- a sparkling Durello. The Cantina di Montecchia located in the province of Verona, is a multiple vineyard Cantine producing everything from Soave to Amarone, to grappa and passiti. The Durello grape, producing a typically strong, full bodied and viney tasting wine, lightens up and can even be refreshing as a bubbler. The Riserva dei Fondatori in particular is golden colored with a long lasting perlage. Definatly sweeter than a prosecco due to the hints of honey and camomille. Round and soft which tends to be the opposite of what one would look for in a sparkling wine, the result is interesting to say the least and pairable with a much wider range of foods. A wine type definatly to look into for the future if hosting a dinner party, especially with New Years coming up.

Vorrei parlare di un prodotto la Riserva Fondatori Saxi della Cantina di Montecchia di Crosara in provincia di Verona.
Sebbene la produzione della cantina sociale abbracci 150 ettari lungo queste dolci colline della Val d'Alpone i vini prodotti sono eccellenti. Dal Passito del Veneto con uve selezionate di Garganega e Durella, al Soave Classico barricato, all'Amarone della Valpolicella alla Grappa di Recioto.Il vino mi e' piaciuto perche' son diventato da poco un fan del Durello, chiaramente amo la sua spiccata acidita' e come in questo caso la mineralita' del suolo ( basalto ) che dona al tutto una bella personalita'.giallo paglierino tendente al dorato, i profumi intensi di miele e pane tostato, morbido in bocca, secondo me c'e' una percentuake anche di chardoonay.
Un buon bicchiere da abbinare ad un pesce crudo con qualche salsa in accompagnamento.
