The wine region of Capriano del Colle
Tiny Lombard DOC (~25 ha) on the Monte Netto hills south of Brescia. Marzemino is the signature red (≥40 % of the Rosso) — historic on Monte Netto since the Renaissance: medium-bodied with intense notes of black cherry, plum, fragrant violet and a touch of sweet spices, supple tannins and juicy flesh. Blended with Barbera, Sangiovese or Merlot. Turbiana (Trebbiano di Soave) as taut white with notes of citrus, almond and flowers.
The wine region of Lombardia
Three poles. Franciacorta DOCG, Italy's answer to Champagne: elegant brioche traditional-method sparklers (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc), fine bubble and mineral profile. Alpine Valtellina: Nebbiolo (alias Chiavennasca) with fine tannins and red fruits, powerful Sforzato passito. Oltrepò Pavese: fresh Pinot Noir and fruity-sparkling Bonarda.
The word of the wine: Tastevin
Metal cup, wide and of low height, being used to mirror and taste the wine. Still used in wine brotherhoods for its emblematic and folkloric character, the tastevin has been replaced by the various tasting glasses.
