Last wine before leaving Italy, #maximo, a botrytized #sauvignonblanc from the #castellidijesi area made only in stainless steel by #umanironchi . Very interesting, similar, but at the same time different from botrytized Riesling, Sauternes or Tokaji wines. Very elegant and herbal, while keeping the signature marmalade and honey aromas of #botrytis . It has been a pleasant holiday, but I ate and drunk so much that some meals almost felt like a バツゲーム! I am happy to go back to work and I will certainly use this experience for future lessons.

On the right an excellent Verdicchio by Sparapani, on the left - finally! - Vernaccia di Serrapetrona. The Vernaccia was pretty hard to come by, even in Marche. It was also the wine that I used yesterday to toast the new year, just after midnight, which makes it my first wine of 2020! #verdicchio #vernaccia #vernacciadiserrapetrona #serrapetrona #marche #italianwine #wine

This time my visit brought me to Vicari, a traditional produfer whose Lacrima di Morro d'Alba is a regular appearance in my courses. Valentina showed me the vineyards, the fruttaio where the grapes are dried for the Lacrima Superiore and the Passito. I also visited the cantina where the wine is made, including the room for sparkling winemaking (a delicious Lacrima Rose sparkling ageing 30 months on lees). Lot of interesting cuvees, not only from Lacrima, but also Verdicchio (all made exclusively in stainless steel) with a final treat, a traditional Vino di Visciola vinified by macerating local cherries in Montepulciano and Sangiovese must. #vinoitaliano #wine #lacrima #morrodalba #italianwine #verdicchio #vicari
