Riktigt god IGT från Begali. Druvor: Corvina 45% Cabernet s. 45% Rondinella 5% Merlot 5%.
The Wine Advocate: The Begali Lorenzo 2017 Tigiolo is a blend of air-dried 45% Corvina, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 5% Rondinella grapes. The clusters are left to dry for 50 days before being pressed, and the wine is aged in French oak for two years. This so-called super-Venetian wine is proud and thickly concentrated; however, it also maintains its freshness and a distinct territorial identity. There are pretty layers of spice, tar and smoke that point to the unique appassimento approach to winemaking that is practiced so widely in this corner of Italy. In this case, it is applied to international grapes, and that’s what makes this wine so different.
