Happy holidays, everyone!
Whether celebrating Easter or Passover, many of you will be serving lamb. Made from Grenache (60%) and Syrah (40%), the rich flavor but lithe character of this wine make it a favorite for nearly any type of roast meat.
No holiday get-together is complete without bubbles. Andrea Rudelli, Giovanni Arcari, and Nico Danesi, the Franciacorta dudes who make this superbly gastronomic wine, call their method “Solo Uva” or “Just Grapes” because nothing else is added but… grapes!
It’s as clean and fresh as the Alpine landscape where it is grown. The Kerner grape, an aromatic variety, was created in the 1920s by crossing Schiava, a red grape, with Riesling, a white. Between its floral and fruit notes on the nose and its rich fruit and texture on the palate, it makes for a highly nimble food wine, perfect for the Easter feast.
And last but not least, what would Easter be without some pink? This organically farmed rosé is one of those great wines that will go with nearly anything on the holiday feast table, from roast white and red meats to the gorgeous spring vegetables that we will be serving this season. If you were only going to serve one wine for your holiday, this would be the one to go with.
