3 proposals of non-traditional white wines
Varieties are part of the wonderful diversity of the world of wine, allowing us to taste and experience different options without ever ceasing to surprise us.
There are always new wines, untasted varieties and possible combinations to play with and enjoy.
We share with you some white wines to get out of the rule.
As far as wines are concerned, one can be classic and also non-traditional: there are always novelties or alternatives so as not to repeat oneself, and that is a good thing.
In the wide world of white varieties we find non-traditional grape varieties with great qualities.
Pinot Grigio
Also known as Pinot Gris, it is apparently a mutation of the Pinot grape.
It usually gives wines of great freshness and citrus notes, although its expression depends of course on the terroir where it is grown.
Sometimes it can have tropical notes.
Trumpeter Reserve Pinot Grigio
Wine of crystalline yellow color, with greenish and golden hues.
Its aromas are reminiscent of white fruits and citrus, with a fine touch of aniseed.
Fresh and unctuous, its excellent acidity reveals a frank finish with very good persistence.
Ideal with white meats such as chicken or turkey, fish such as salmon or hake, seafood or Indian food seasoned with curry.
It also goes very well with salads.
Gewurztraminer
Its origin is Alsace, France, although it is grown in many parts of the world.
It is often said to be one of the most aromatic varieties, with notes of jasmine and orange blossom, fruity notes and spices such as cloves and pepper, but it also produces full-bodied wines. It is usually bright light yellow in color.
Rutini Gewurztraminer Collection
