Wine Reviews

Zenato is the owner of A.A. S. Cristina.  This wine is 100% Trebbiano di Lugana.  Silver/slight golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is very fragrant with Lemon verbena and a chalky minerality.  Nice texture.  Nice acidity.  On the  palate, this is concentrated with good depth.  Mineral drive but also some nice lemon peel.  Long finish.  This drinks nicely on its own but will work with lighter foods.  It would be a nice pairing with grilled or baked Trout but also with  a Crab Salad.  Drink over the next few years to enjoy the vibrancy.

Tasted at the winery.  This had been recently bottled and the bottle had no label.  It is 100% Nebbiolo.  Pale pink with slight orange hues, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with watermelons and slight strawberries.  Very clean.  Nice texture.  Tart acidity.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, there is persistent fruit and acidity.  Flavors of slight cherries and strawberries with even slighter wild Thyme.  A long finish that has some red apple notes.  Overall a very nice Rose that would make a nice lunch wine or an aperitif.  Drink over the next few years.
