I firmly believe that the best thing a wine writer can do is to educate the public on how to develop their own tastes. While I do include tasting notes and my own impressions of wines in this blog, I like to focus on general wine information and specifically the skills for how to taste wine. (See my preview post)
Luckily I had the chance to try again one of my favorite…Comitissa is an amazing different italian sparkling wine.

Straw yellow with a bright, fine and persistent perlage. A sophisticated bouquet of bread crust, fuocaia stone with a slight note of banana and citrus. Full bodied and persistent perfect as an aperitivo or for pasta or for fish main course
