The Association of Italian Sommeliers has introduced a new guide focused entirely on wine and wine producers.
It includes of course Villa Spinosa's winery starting with reporting its “big future project” i.e. Palajago (new cellars and drying up rooms beside the original ones) and its “melting pot” of wine, literature and photography which the several happenings during the year give evidence of.
Among them the picture award within “Cantine Aperte” and the literary meetings like “Premio Salgari (Salgari award) 2008”.
It's very important to say that Amarone Valpolicella Classico “Guglielmi di Jago” 1998 has been very appreciated being “...perfectly in time and present with bouquet, especially marmelade, and unexpectedly fresh”. |
