Hey everyone!
My girlfriend and I explored some wines this weekend. We both had a challenging week and have been looking forward to doing this review. With that in mind, let's begin.
The wines we tasted were 1928 Rosé by Cavicchioli U. & Figli and Les Champauvins Domaine Grand Veneur by Alain Jaume.
1928 Rosé by Cavicchioli U and Figli
Variety of Grapes : Lambrusco
Region : Modena
Country : Italy
Vintage : ?
Price : $11.95
Review from International wine shop : "Cavicchioli 1928 Rose Spumante Dolce features, when poured and tasted, white and evanescent foam; fine and lingering perlage; bright and pale pink "candy" color; fresh and fruity aroma; sweet, slightly spicy and aromatic taste with red fruit notes with lingering aftertaste."
Recommended Pairings from International wine shop: "Cavicchioli 1928 Rose Spumante Dolce should be drunk young and is excellent as an aperitif, to sweet and sour pairings, with risotto, tortellini, seafood dishes, enjoy it with fresh fruits. Serving temperature: chilled to 40 degrees Fahrenheit."
Wine Folly: "A great food wine, Lambrusco goes with everything from pizza to burgers. Try pairing with Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiana Reggiano for an authentic delight." Pg. 122
Personal Review: I smelled floral notes, especially rose. From the tasting, I detected hints of raisins, grapefruit, and strawberries. I would recommend this to everyone. It is really good. It is really sweet and the bubbles make it really light. I do not recommend pairing it with anything, although, I could see drinking this with fresh fruit.
Les Champauvins Domaine Grand Veneur by Alain Jaume
Variety of Grapes : 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre
Region : Orange
Country : France
Vintage : 2018
Price : $19.95
Review from Wine.com : "Aromas of kirsch and violet petals introduce this fruity blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. It's a lusciously textured, voluminous sip packed with concentrated flavors of raspberry coulis and strawberry leather, but nuanced by subtleties of smoke and garrigue too." - Wine Enthusiast
Wine Folly : "The GSM Blend is a versatile food pairing wine that works particularly well with dishes featuring Mediterranean spices including red pepper, sage, rosemary, and olives." Pg. 156
Personal Review: I smell a cool oder like I am smelling mint. It also has an earthy mushroom tone in its scent. It tastes slightly burnt like coffee. I also detect notes of licorice, dark chocolate, and spice. I would probably not recommend this to someone until I try it with an earthy dish. I prefer to see what it pairs with before telling others to get it. I think it would go really well with a sweet nutty salad with goat cheese, grapes, and, pomegranate seeds. I do not recommend drinking it alone like I did.
