Giving wine is always a good idea, but it is not always reflected enough on which labels to choose. If the thought is aimed at the best friend, then it becomes essential to devote some time and look for something special. A gift must certainly please and satisfy the tastes of those who receive it, but it must never be banal or discounted. VINO75 has selected 10 labels for your gifts. They are 10 wines of various types, but which have in common the trait of quality and excellence, with a touch of originality that never hurts when it comes to making a gift. With friends you can dare, they will trust your choices even if unusual, indeed they will appreciate the fact that they have thought of something particular.
Sparkling
We leave for once the classic denominations Franciacorta and TrentoDoc for three proposals that are born from native grapes and in unusual territories for sparkling wine. Let's start with the Christian Bellei Bianco Vintage Millennium Sparkling Wine from the Cantina della Volta , a Classic Method produced with pure Sorbara Lambrusco. The bouquet is refined, with floral and delicately fruity notes and the sip is very fresh. Another interesting label is the Method Classic Extra Brut XT from Cave Mont Blanc produced with the autochthonous prié blanc grape on the slopes of Mont Blanc. A sparkling wine of sharp freshness, citrus and mineral. Let's close with Etna DOC Extra Brut Millesimato di Murgo . A Classic Method produced with pure mascalese nerello, with fresh notes of orange blossom, raspberry and pomegranate.
whites
Among the whites we choose the excellence of the Isarco Valley: the Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC Sylvaner Alte Reben of Pacherhof. Fresh, intense and persistent wine, which well represents the Dolomite terroir. A wine to discover is the Val di Neto IGT Efeso di Librandi, produced with the autochthonous Mantone grape variety. Finally, the Venezia Giulia IGT Bianco Prulke by Zidarich a rich and structured Karst wine, which comes from a blend of sauvignon blanc, vitovska and malvasia refined in wood.
Rossi
The Campania IGT Terra di Lavoro of Galardi is certainly one of the best excellences of our south. A great territorial wine produced with Aglianico and Piedirosso. Colli Berici DOC Carménère San Lorenzo di Inama Oratory is interesting . It is a pure carménère, which makes you rediscover the value of this ancient Bordeaux grape variety. For those who love Piedmontese wines, Boca DOC Le Piane is perfect. A Nebbiolo from Upper Piedmont that stands out for its refined elegance and longevity. Finally, we close with Faro DOC Palari, one of the best Sicilian reds, produced on the promontory of the Strait of Messina with Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio and Nocera.
