August Wine Chart
With its beautiful days, vacation time, an atmosphere of calmness and relaxation, August is perhaps the most awaited month of the year. The August wine chart created by Enoteca Properzio will come in handy, as you will find a list of wines to enjoy alone or with company, at the beach or at the mountains.
Montefalco Rosso Caprai Reserve 2016, 0.75-liter bottle: a Sagrantino of Montefalco from Umbria, which is oftentimes requested internationally. It might be because of its ruby red color, or for the ripe fruit and vanilla that are immediately present to the smell, or for its richness—all qualities that demonstrate the mastery of Arnaldo Caprai.
Kurni Oasi degli Angeli 2017, 0.75-liter bottle: from Umbria we move to Marche to visit another prestigious wine cellar: Oasi degli Angeli. In particular, this red wine, almost crimson, stand out for its unmistakable hints of vanilla, banana and Oriental spices. Its tannins do not go unnoticed, while remaining quite balanced, which make it a true enological masterpiece.
50&50 Capannelle Avignonesi 2015, 0.75-liter bottle: after the regions of Umbria and Marche, we travel to a Tuscan wine cellar that produces a 50% Merlot and 50% Sangiovese, widely awarded and respected by the most important sommeliers. To the smell, one will notice a leather, tobacco, and vanilla aroma, while to the taste one can enjoy a rich and balanced, complex yet delicate wine.
Valpolicella Superiore Dal Forno Romano 2013, 0.75-liter bottle: this elegantly structured bottle of wine comes directly from Veneto and presents itself as the perfect mixture of red and dried fruit. With its strong finale of liquor-soaked fruit, a wine like this one must be enjoyed with red or game meat.
Spumante Extra Dry Bruno Giacosa 0.75-liter bottle: to conclude this August wine chart, we thought of a sparkling wine DOCG that is quite fresh and lively. Produced in Piedmont, it presents a balanced effervescence and an enjoyable structure.
