Sito web Wine Indulgence Our friend and wine maker, Franco Masiero, introduced us to his colleague from the Liguria region of Italy a year ago, proclaiming his white to be the best around. Since then, I have been dying to try it! Finally, with a good excuse to make a nice dinner, it was Paolo’s birthday, I went out to buy a nice fish, a St. Peters and popped it in the oven. These sugars presented themselves in the form of fruits like pineapple and papaya, and herbs like sage and mirto bianco. It was strangely velvety for a white, yet still held on to its freshness and structure. What I loved the most, was the zing of vanilla almond, that remained on the walls of my mouth as I sat thinking about what I just drank. To be honest, I haven’t drank many Pigato wines, but doubt others could be as good as this and go unnoticed for long. My guess is that the Selvadolce vineyard just really loves to care for their vines and therefore makes a product that is just that good. Unfortunately, it is a wine which is hard to get a hold of. They don’t sell outside of Italy, so if you are interested, you have to order it from them and have it shipped. A bottle sells for 25 euro and with shipping, it can add up, but it’s worth it! |
