Wine of the season by Head Sommelier,
Davide Vaccarini
The Wine: Klin,Primosic,Collio Bianco, Fruili
Venezia Guilia 2004.
The Grapes: Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Ribolla Gialla,
Tocai Friulano, Piccolit.
Soil composition: Sandstone marl, rich in minerals
with low organic content.
Winemaking: This wine is fermented (100%) in
French oak barrique “Allier” (these small barrels do not allow the
temperature to be over 26-28°C); refinement on yeast for 8 months
first and then in bottle for another 12
months.
The wine: The particular blend
of international grapes and some indigenous grapes make this wine
unique.
Straw yellow colour with greenish tints in the
reflections and golden shades, has a complex nose, elegant but very
intense at the same time; hints of mixed fruits, sweet pastries,
pear and a vein of acacia-honey. The taste has a full
correspondence with the expectations, ample with a very well
balanced acidity: the texture is fine and powerful at the same
time, excellent long finish. The youthful fragrance that is
revealed to the palate makes this wine extremely pleasant.
Food matching:
- Scampi tail and Vegetable tempura.
- Risotto with sea scallop and pancetta.
- Cold spaghetti with Beluga caviar, chives and
extra virgin olive oil
- Turbot baked in the oven with razor clams,
cherry Pachino tomato, olives with thyme and extra virgin
olive oil.
Davide's Tasting Notes
- Dark yellow. Intense floral, honey and tropical on the
nose.
- Quite sweet on the palate, harmonious with a dry and clean
after-taste.
- Astonishing evolution on the palate, elegant and unique!
Try this beautiful conversation wine with pan-fried duck liver,
desserts such as tiramisu, warm chocolate fondant, pastries and
cheese.
"I personally suggest this with duck liver rather
than Sauternes because this dish is a starter and a Sauternes is
far too sweet to begin a meal with especially if you want to
continue with a white wine after it; the Giardini Arimei instead
creates a perfectly balanced match that leaves the palate
completely clean and ready without compromise for the next course
and the next wine."
