Le Donne Dei Boschi 2009

Wine tasting 9

I'm all for sparkling wines, and experimenting with it, but this wine is too sweet for me to be taken seriously. It only has 5% alcohol content which makes me wonder what the wine maker was thinking when they created it. If you're looking for a low alcohol alternative for a sunny afternoon, then give it a try, if you don't think the price is too much.

Panel's rating: 2,7 out of 5

Price: 98SEK

Country: Piedmont, Italy

Grape: Brachetto

Colour: Light red

Nose: This wine has a youthful, lightly perfumed scent, with hints of cherries, strawberries and herbs.

Taste: Very sweet with hints of berries (Cherries and Strawberries).

Wine Tasting number 9

Last Friday we had our ninth wine tasting. This time there was 6 friends, and we tasted 7 wines. The winner for the night was clearly the 2009 Australian Shiraz, called Lionheart of the Barossa, from Dandelion Cellars, which not only tasted fantastic but had a really well designed label. The Italien wine Trabucchi d'Illasi Valpolicella Le Mariette 2009 was in second place and the Portuguese wine Meia Pipa 2008 in third.
