Vignalina 2019 (Tenuta Santa Caterina)

Sunshine, rising green meadows accompanied by beautiful rows of vineyards in full swing… The clouds are cotton and the earth smells of cocoa powder, everything is so fucking pretty it hurts the heart. You are in the center of Piedmont, in the incredible Asti lands, through which wine runs like rivers of blood, history and world heritage. What a romantic place, by Dior! Here is born the Vignalina 2019, an incontestable Barbera d’Asti Superiore. It also has a pegasus unicorn logo, this has to give points to the couple winelover.
Santa Caterina Estate is a winery in Monferrato, right next to Asti, and is located in a typical Piedmontese farmhouse, elegant and with an imposing façade that takes you back in time. The house is also used to host visitors, a kind of relay where to create a most chic atmosphere. imagine sleep between those walls loaded with history, walk through paths full of vines on each side or open a bottle in its historic library. All this is possible, but it is closer to open a bottle of Vignalina 2019 with your partner and let yourself be carried away by the senses. Precio: €18 approx.
Komokabras naranja (Winery Between The Rivers)
If you are one of those couples who like to go to the mountains, loaded or dressed in backpacks full of rare utensils, campingaz, tent and some boots that Quechua puts on. If you are one of those semi-goats and “throw away for the mountain”, we have a wine that is very suitable for you. Orange Komokabras (Tinaja) is your perfect match, an orange wine based on Albariño grapes made in the Land of Barbanza and Iria. The person responsible for it is José Crusat in the family cellar Adega Entre Os Ríos. As the name says, it is a winery between two rivers, in the upper part of Pobra do Caramiñal (La Coruña).
José’s family has, apart from the winery, a beautiful cottage where to host visitors. It is a magical enclave, since it becomes strong at the opening of the Pedras River, creating a mini fantasy island. It is worth the visit and the stay because the enveloping magic of the Galician forests is evident there. Large rocks on the banks of the river, old trees full of mold and humidity, the river running… And to accompany that nature in its wildest state, nothing better than opening one of the most radical bottles in the mainstream. natures. The orange Komokabras (tinaja) is a wild wine, an expression of the Albariño that, with its five weeks of maceration with skins, offers us a face until now hidden. Tannicity, rusticity and breadth with that characteristic acidity of Albariños. Perfect for mountain goats. Precio: €16.95 approx.
One Night Rosé (Montrubí Heritage)
For all those couples citizens that you like to go to restaurants, wine bars, the theater, getaways, because “that way we escape the monotony in the city”. Social networks are cool for you, Instagram is your church and its commandments are mainstream. As good wine consumers, you are at the forefront of the winneloverismo you know that the orange They are beginning to be outdated and what makes them pale are the rosés. One Night Rosé is the one chosen for you, the rosé of Montrubí inheritance in the Penedès.
A rosé that delights everyone, it has that fresh and cheerful fruit, with its good acidity but, of course, dad soft and mom grenache They don’t know how to make normal wines, so it leaves a sublime structure in the mouth. No fresqueo or glu glu, no, something well done to which your we doesn’t do it justice. To taste it, we go to his winery, which is located in an old Indian mansion in the town of the old woman (Barcelona). Another great winery that leaves us stay in their rooms, visit its corridors and walls full of history and have a glass of its rosé in its wine bar.

Presidential Tawny Colheita 2007
And we end with one of the most beautiful visits, because it is on the shores of the Atlantic and it is super winelover. Port and its immortal wines. This beautiful city with steep streets that plummet to the sides of the Duero, at its mouth in Vilanova de Gaia. Because here the winery or wineries do not matter, here the precious thing is to stay in any hotel in its historic center and visit the city. What a bouncy city! A good Stendhalazo.
You hug, you love, you kiss and you look for stunned looks in every corner of her and of course, drink, drink a lot of Port wine, both white and red, because it gives pleasure to the soul. I recommend the Presidential Tawny Colheita 2007, a white that was to try it and have a crush. Yes, the one that gives you with your partner, but me with the wine. In this case, a very nice old lady offered it to me, when I tried it I tore that bottle out of her hands to see where so much love came from. A bottled God and infinite pleasure for my heart. Pay attention and travel, travel a lot and drink equally, that life is a carnival and it is more beautiful to live drinkingtraveling. Precio: €40 approx.
