Last night i organised a little tasting with wines from the Mt Pollino district
Well, i might or might not agree with the crowd, but this rosé killed the other two wines in popularity
Probably you don't finish the night and take with you a cerebral memory of it, but you will associate the fun of the moments with this juice for sure
It's a winner, easy to love, charming and it has a story too
Guarnaccino is, in fact, a unique expression of the Chiaramonte terroir, Luigi Lauria had found in 2006 twenty vines(lSt remaining apparently)of it among the variety existing in the local fields.
Now he looks after about 5 hectares and in 2013 the Guarnaccino was register as the only indigenous grape of Basilicata
The wine is very straightforward: fruit, freshness and a mineral vein
Instructions: chill it, pour it and drink it
Result: great vibe surrounding the area
As a wine thinker i might argue that isn't superlong, but i must agree that it gets to the people and that matters indeed — 2 years ago

Tastes like a Syrah from somewhere in Santa Barbara County, which is not a bad thing taste-wise. But I’m always puzzled when European countries plant grapes that are indigenous to other countries. That aside, it’s very good. Nose is complex, with animal, vegetable, and mineral qualities (plus some nice fruit). There is an intense iron quality, cured salami, ripe boysenberry, and a little tobacco leaf. In the mouth it’s dark and rich, but the tannins are well integrated and unobtrusive. Acidity is a little lower than most Northern Rhônes, but enough to maintain balance. Despite my predispositions, I like it. — 2 years ago
Light cherry red in colour. Cherry and raspberry together with a jubey confectionery note on the nose and palate. On the palate “bigger” than your normal Yarra Vally Pinot. Winemaking Notes: 10% whole bunch, partially de-stemmed - a portion foot stomped. Open fermenters - matured for 12 months in old oak. Indigenous yeast; No filtration, no fining. — 2 years ago
An indigenous variety to the levant area in Israel.
A clear watery color, fresh nose, very balanced and pure on its palate. Mineral, crisp. — 3 years ago
Pétillant Naturel made with Catawba, an indigenous variety from the Finger Lakes. Quite exuberant, fragrant nose with non-vinifera varieties’ signature grapey, foxy notes (smells like Concord grapes). Lemon, green apple flavors. High acidity. Tasty, very refreshing. Slightly mineral finish. Drinks like lemonade — 3 years ago
Sergio Zenato and his wife Carla began to produce quality wines from an indigenous varietal, Trebbiano di Lugana, and passed down through the generations. A blend of 80% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta and Croatina. Medium Ruby with aromas of dried berry fruits, sweet and smoky notes with pleasant herb spice. On the palate flavors of ripe currants and sweet blackberries with cacao, spice, oak and nutty tones. Fine tannins, long complex finish ending slightly creamy with cedar notes. Starting to drink well now, enjoy over next 4-5 years. — 3 years ago
