August
Wine Club Picks of the Month
Pizarras de Otero, Mencia Bierzo Spain
Pizarras de Otero is produced by bodegas Cuatro Pasos, an 18th century estate which lay dormant for many years before being bought and revived by Bodegas Martín Códax in 2003. 'Pizarra' is the Spanish for slate, and here refers to the slate that characterizes the rocky, mineral-rich soils of Bierzo. Pizarra also means blackboard, hence the label design!
Mencia, a varietal native to the Bierzo region in spain is genetically related to cabernet franc. The bramble-berry expression is perfect with pork, lightly glazed duck or a garden-tomato based marinara. Tis' the season now
Riva de la Rosa Frascati, Lazio Italy
Frascati is known as “the wine of kings and popes” and “the golden wine of the Romans”
and has thrived for over two thousand years. The ancient town of Frascati sits on the rim of a
dormant volcano, just a few miles away from Rome. Its rich volcanic soil, plentiful sunshine
and cool breezes (due to its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea) provides an ideal climate
suited for this varietal blend of Malvasia, Grechetto, Trebbiano and Bombino!
Beautiful with antipasti or a delicate pistachio pesto linguini dish!
Saluti !
Autre Monde's wine club is a great bargain. Our favorite is often the latest one. Like this month's 2018 Lavina, a Spanish blend of Tempranillo and Merlot. If there's any extra we would love to buy more bottles.- Deborah Donovan (wine club member)
