Exploring the Elegance of Pinot Noir! 🍇 🇫🇷

🏛️ Originating from Burgundy, Pinot Noir is a French grape with a history dating back over 2,000 years – making it over 1,000 years older than Cabernet Sauvignon.

🍇 Delicate and thin-skinned, Pinot Noir is cherished for its intricate flavours and aromas, making it a beloved red grape variety globally.

🌤️ While it's a challenge to cultivate due to susceptibility to rot and a preference for cooler climates, Pinot Noir shines in the right conditions, producing some of the world's most elegant and complex wines.

🇫🇷 France, mostly Burgundy, boasts the largest cultivation of Pinot Noir, with approximately 100,000 hectares planted.
The iconic Côte d'Or region is particularly renowned for its exceptional Pinot Noir, with Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Vosne-Romanée crafting some of the most iconic wines worldwide.

🌎 Pinot Noir is also a global grape with over 70,000 hectares cultivated in the US and 60,000 hectares in China.

🥂A fascinating fact: Pinot Noir is among the few red grapes perfect for crafting rosé and sparkling white wines. In fact, it's one of the exclusive duo (with Pinot Meunier) that allowed for the creation of Champagne, the world's most celebrated bubbles!

Let’s raise a glass to this wonderful red grape variety on ! 🍇✨

Is it Vinsanto or Vin Santo? Well… both!

🍇 Despite the similar spelling, Vin Santo and Vinsanto are two different wines with a very different tradition.

🇮🇹 Italian Vin Santo has a signature rich, amber-hued colour and boasts an intricate nutty flavour and a velvety sweetness.
Traditionally crafted from Trebbiano and Malvasia grapes, it’s aged in small wooden barrels, evolving over several years.

👼 The name Vin Santo translates to ‘Holy Wine’ and has a very funny origin:
During the 1439 Ecumenical Council in Florence, a Greek monk's mistakenly identified the local sweet wine 'Vin Pretto' as a wine from 'Xantos' (Santorini) which the crowd misheard as ‘Santo' meaning ‘holy’.
To this day Vin Santo is the wine used during most Chatolic mass and rituals.

🇬🇷 Santorini's Vinsanto is traditionally made with an assemblage of Assyrtiko, Athiri, and Aidani grapes which are gently sun-dried for 8 to 15 days. Infused with the island's volcanic soil and sea-kissed breeze, this wine achieves a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and sun-kissed sweetness, minerality and fruitiness.

📦 The name Vinsanto here simply means ‘wine from Santorini’.
Its origins can be traced to the Venetian Domination, during this time Santorini's sweet wines were very popular in Europe and the containers on the ships were marked with 'Vinsanto’.

🇪🇺 In 2002, as Greece joined the EU, Santorini's Vinsanto makers sought 'Vinsanto' as a regional denomination. The EU's decision? 'Vinsanto' for Santorini, 'Vin Santo' for their Italian counterparts.
An intriguing name duel that found harmony in compromise.

🥂 What do they have in common?
Both wines are unique expressions of their tradition: A celebration of patience, native grape varieties, and the artistry of winemaking.

A mistake we like to make… 🥂

Prosecco is always perfect on his own but when it’s time for an , we can add a couple of twists to create a delicious cocktail!
From the iconic Spritz to the classic Hugo, and the drink that took the internet by storm... the Negroni Sbagliato 🍊

🇮🇹 Did you know that 'sbagliato' in Italian translates to 'mistaken'?
That's exactly how this famous Prosecco cocktail came into existence: It was 1972 and Mirko Stocchetto of Bar Basso in Milan accidentally swapped sparkling wine for gin in a Negroni, creating the very first Negroni Sbagliato.
🍹 Easy to make and always satisfying simply all you need is:

30ml Sweet Vermouth
30ml Campari
30ml Prosecco

🧊 Mix all the ingredients in a lowball glass over ice and enjoy

🍾 Celebrating with a glass of refreshing bubbly!

🇮🇹 From the lush vineyards in North East Italy, The Prosecco DOC denomination encompasses 4 provinces in Friuli Venezia Giulia (Gorizia, Pordenone, Trieste, and Udine), and 5 provinces in Veneto (Belluno, Padua, Treviso, Venice, Vicenza).

🌟 World-renowned, this prolific wine region boasts 11,460 vineyards and 1,192 wineries all contributing to one of Italy's most iconic wine exports.

🍇 The heart of Prosecco lies in the Glera grape variety, native to North East Italy and celebrated since Roman times. Traditionally, it's combined with up to 15% of other grapes like Verdiso, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera, Glera lunga, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, and Pinot Nero, vinified off the skins.

🤓 Fun fact: The word 'Prosecco' dates back to the mid-thirteenth century, with variations like 'Prosech' or 'Prosecum,' referring to a small town near the Trieste and Duino.

🎉 Stay tuned as tomorrow we unveil our recipe for that viral cocktail that we all love to pronounce: The Negroni Sbagliato!🍹

The Sweet Power of Santorini's Wines! 🌊🍷🌋

A breathtaking summer destination and wine lover's paradise, Santorini is a volcanic island renowned for its sweet yet powerful wines like Assyrtiko and Vinsanto.

🌋 The wines of Santorini are shaped by its unique and harsh growing conditions.
🌱The soil, composed of volcanic ash, pumice, sand, and basalt, is nutrient-poor but rich in acidity and essential minerals.
🌬️The warm, dry climate with minimal rainfall and strong winds makes Santorini effectively a volcanic desert.

🏛️With an ancient dating back thousands of years —traces of vine-growing and winemaking found during excavations of the buried city of Akrotiri.

🍇 Assyrtiko, the indigenous variety, shines as the star of the island, representing an outstanding 65% of production. It's sometimes blended with other white varieties like Athiri and Aidani, and cultivated alongside red varieties like Mandilaria and Mavrotragano.
🍷 Stay tuned this week as we delve into the enchanting aromas of the island!
