@sommtv Remember the context in which you drink the wine, because It won’t be the same the next time you have it. Wine is a memory.

Tasting the Escorihuela Gascón 2021 Malbec.
Really opened up after an hour. This winery, with current organic & biodynamic methods, was founded in 1884. This is an excellent summer red. #redwinesofsummer #redwine

@CoreyMesler “And always the thin line between corner and cornered,
the good corners of bodies and those severe bodies
that permit no repose,
the places we retreat to, the places we can’t bear
to be found.”

from “Corners” in the book, Not Dancing

Long live the words.

Happy #Lambruscoday! 🍇🍷

Lambrusco wines are one of the oldest existing types in the world. There is historical evidence that the Etruscan civilization, which lived in the region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy, during the first millennium before Christ, produced drinks from the grape of the same name. Centuries later, the Romans came to elaborate frizzante versions of Lambrusco wines, through a second fermentation that took place inside the amphorae.

It was in the 18th century, with the implementation of the Borgognona type bottles, that it was possible to store Lambrusco wines without them losing their residual perlage, preserving one of their main characteristics.

Lambrusco is constantly remembered as one of the "starter wines" for those who are not used to drinking it. This is because it has a slightly sweet taste (even in its dry variations), with plenty of acidity and not very evident tannins.

Unlike sparkling wines, the perlage of Lambrusco is fine and not very persistent. The sensation is less intense and creamy, providing a light freshness to the palate. It is usually a very aromatic wine, with notes of flowers and red fruits such as cherry, raspberry and strawberry.

Finally, it is impossible to talk about what Lambrusco is without mentioning its characteristic bubbles. They can originate as a residue of the first fermentation, or through the Charmat method, in stainless steel casks.

Although it is most commonly found in red versions, there are also rosé and white versions available. Check out here: https://t.co/QFiGoutZ2X
