30 April 2011
Wine- Cruvin Colline Savonesi IGT
Varietal- 100% Cruvin (Corvino)
Region- Liguria, Italy
Producer- Punta Crena (Ruffino Family)
Vintage- 2009
Made from the rare, red Corvino grape that is nearly extinct because the vines are extremely low yielding. This ruby red wine is youthful with light red fruits, minerals and perfume aromas. It has soft tannins and intensity, good acidity with a long finish. Imagine drinking this wine while gazing at the Ligurian Sea, feeling the salty ocean breezes that blanket the vineyards. This wine should not be taken too seriously, it’s a quality Italian wine that marries with local Ligurian cuisine. Or, if you can’t make it to Italy, give it a try with something else, like chicken baked in yogurt with red onions and grape leaves. Opa!
