\" I Do Not Like Mineral Water\": The Nonconforming Red Wines of Ida Agnoletti (Mail from Asolo Prosecco, Component 4)

.In a considerable amount of ways, Ida Agnoletti works with the antithesis of everything that our team in the States think that we understand about Prosecco.
In a location recognized for large manufacturing homes, she farms merely 8 hectares of vines, much of them nearing 70 years old, creating regarding 50,000 containers a year, and farming without making use of chemicals.
In a place known for its own straightforward, immediately appealing bubbly, she pays attention to Red wine and also Cabernet Sauvignon.
Along with beautifully manicured hillside wineries, her stories rest on iron-rich vineyard dirts in Selva del Montello in a place that's more-or-less at the center of a non commercial neighborhood.
At a lot of the sizable developers that I went to in the course of a media ride to the Asolo Prosecco region, the wine-making facilites were actually so clean that you could've consumed off of their floors. Ida Agnoletti's hacienda, along with its 200+ years of age hardwood ceiling supports as well as her canines running with abandon about the residential or commercial property, was actually ... effectively, not that.
As Agnoletti herself illustrates, factors at her estate are actually "a little various.".
" I am actually tired [of tasting] Prosecco as well as they are actually all comparable," she mused. "It is actually except me. I'm finding brand new factors the 'actual' Prosecco. Considering that I adore individuality.".
If Agnoletti's glass of wines possess anything, it's individual. Lots of it. And also they were actually one of the more irreverent-- and also unique-- glass of wines fro the location that I've ever before tried ...




2022 Ida Agnoletti Sui Lieviti 'PSL Always' Frizzante, Colli Trevigiani, $NA.
Grown older sur lie with secondary fermentation (utilizing aboriginal yeasts) taking place in liquor, this is actually a low-sulfite take on Prosecco. Eco-friendly apple, saline, minerals, and smashed flower petals denote the nostrils, while the taste buds includes rustic pear fruit, fantastic acidity, and also a biscuit-like character. Texturally amazing, as well as well-crafted, this Pet-Nat design Prosecco has "hipster" written around it, in a good way.
NV Ida Agnoletti 'Selva No. 55', Asolo Prosecco, $25.
Agnoletti clearly goes with body in her sparklers, and also this salty, dry out, and lithely textured Prosecco is no exception. With notes of saline, pear, and hurt apples, this is actually fairly a food lover white wine, even with the fairly lesser level of acidity and also enhanced sense of taste design. Long, mouthwatering, as well as packed with, yes, personality.
2021 Ida Agnoletti 'Los Angeles Ida' Red Wine, Montello Asolo, $NA.
About 1 third of this 100% Merlot is aged in tonneau for twelve months. Opening up with juicy plums, black olives, and dried out cannabis, it is actually a broad, balanced red along with herbal tints as well as absolutely enough tannic power for container growing old. It's still youthful, yet is actually currently performing.
2021 Ida Agnoletti 'Seneca' Montello Rosso, Colli Trevigiani, $NA.
Agnoletti's much older creeping plants source this combination of Merlot as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, which is aged in oak for one year. Yes, it is actually fashionable, however thankfully the rut comes in the form of smoked meat goodness, enhancing the full-flavored black fruit tastes and dried out herb notices. Juicy as well as deep, along with saline hints, long tannins, as well as outstanding minerality, this red has a great, lengthy lifestyle ahead of it (for chuckles, our company also opened up the 2019 and also while it has even more structure at its primary, its own difficulty and development forebode effectively for the future of this '21).
2021 Ida Agnoletti 'Love Is' Cabernet Sauvignon, Colli Trevigiani, $NA.
Grown old merely in stainless-steel, this Taxi is direct and also mouth watering. Blackcurrant, red plum, dried out herbs, graphite, fine acidity, as well as an energetic structure create it an absolute delight to imbibe. Notes of dried sagebrush, sea sodium, and also baking flavors accomplish the bundle.
Cheers!
