Italian Whites
As you can see from my blog im not much of a white wine drinker, i do occasionally like a drop of white but i tend to stay with the red. The true wine.
With my recent membership to a wine club and my up coming visit to the wine capital of America this summer, i thought it be a good idea that i start to try a bottle or two and get use to the taste. In the past i have always associated white wine with binge drinking women and the wine iv tasted in the past has mostly tasted like cheap cider, however Thud recently opened a vintage bottle of white which i posted about here and i had a bit of a shock as to how good it was.
Well Thud did it again, and after a great day out in the sun at the weekend we opened a lovely bottle of Soave, which for a dry white it was very refreshing and full of flavour, the colour was a deep yellow with a very small hint of green in it and a full fruity taste, the after taste left a garden taste, very outdoors and therefore a good pick for that time of day.
Soave intrigued me a little, and so as the weather is holding right now i bought another bottle and was able to grab a Classico. The flavour although similar had a more intense feel but the colour did not seem to have that hint of green, the fruity bouquet went down a treat as i cut the grass in the early evening sun.
