If someone still hasn't understood it, I am a great lover of wines, and I take every opportunity to be able to taste new wines and new wineries at fairs and exhibitions, and what better place than a small medieval village?
let's start by saying that Borgo Grazzano Visconti is not in all respects a medieval village or rather it is not from that era.
In fact, it is said that this village is one of the most beautiful HISTORICAL FALSE in Italy, that is a reconstruction of a hypothetical medieval village with attention to the smallest details but which has nothing historical, so there have never been works of historical conservative restoration of buildings already existing but new construction interventions, and you wonder why?
well in reality, duke giuseppe Visconti di Modrone simply made this dream come true between the late 1800s and mid 1900s, today one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in the province of Piacenza.
For those wishing to visit it, I share the link to the website, the place is often the subject of events and meetings, so it is possible to combine the two exactly as I did ...
Inside this hamlet there are loads of activities including bars and restaurants and an unusual Harry Potter themed shop that's really nice!
Let's go back to what became really interesting during the day, namely the wine ...
The oenological journey for us started from the Piedmont region, the first stand I must be honest did not freak me out sincerely, I am a red wine drinker and I know enough especially about Piedmontese wines that I know very well, the second stand has me amazed first of all with an idea of โโan aperitif with Bracchetti, a wine that to make it simple resembles a rosรฉ with extremely sweet soda but which to make an aperitif with an orange slice is even better than an aperol, even as a base for cocktail I find it an interesting combination, which really surprised me is the freisa D'asti wine produced with a native grape variety called Freisa which has a small distribution in the territory and we can also say that for this reason it is rare and precious, this wine is incredibly fruity and almost completely tastes of cherry juice with a bitter and robust aftertaste that resembles chestnuts, it is truly a good wine that deserves to be drunk and known.
Another stand that needs to be mentioned is that of Sicily where the producers of Baronia della Pietra make a wine called Oblio dei Sensi, a name a guarantee, the price certainly adjusted to the quality of the product is at least double the previous wine, this wine an aged wine is really complex as flavors but not very tannic indeed quite high, however it remains sweet and delicate, rich in flavors of red fruits and woods, a wine that betrays because if you drank it with your eyes closed you would foolishly think of drinking an Amarone from Valpolicella, therefore two wines at the antipodes as a production area, soil and sun exposure but an adjacent result, I always say that we bottle the love and passion for wine and for the way in which we produce it.
The next Stand tells us the story of a family of young farmers Brother, Sister and boyfriend all from Marsala, also here one of the most beautiful areas of Sicily, very kind and helpful people who know how to make the customer feel in the right place, here I drank the top Nero d'Avola I have ever drunk, making a Nero d'Avola Amabile is not easy and they have succeeded, even if characterized by a strong alcohol content it is still young and fruity, soft and delicate, an almost spicy flavor, hit, amazing price quality.
Finally we had the opportunity to taste the Best Passito I have ever drunk, it comes from an area of โโPiedmont near Ivrea, an area that you will surely know for the famous battle of the oranges, well here we make a special wine and the Passito di Erbaluce a legendary product born from a drying of the grapes directly on the grates hanging from a stick, then the fermentation from wine to liqueur takes place practically in a natural way inside the truly incredible grape berry. for today and all with wines! to the next drink.
Well, regardless if it's true or not, the place looks fantastic. It's exactly what I love so much, bricks and stones. About the wive... I don't know what to say ๐ I'm not saying I don't like a good wine but I an expert. However, the bottles look very nice and inviting. Would definitely taste a few.
