Tune In to Wine with David Kohl : Bordeaux, Burgundy &; Beyond

Low Alcohol Wine : 6% White Bordeaux

Today’s wine trade is very much interested in the younger generation of drinkers, and is producing low alcohol brands to appeal to a broader audience. Traditional White Bordeaux is 12% alcohol content but today we taste a Sauvignon Blanc @ only 6% from Tutiac wine cooperative in Bordeaux’s Blaye region. A nose of strong citrus tones is fresh and appealing. The fruity taste is easy to drink and works well as a food wine, although lower acidity due to the restrained alcohol. #wine #winepodcast #lowalchoholwine #6%wine #tutiacwine #whitebordeaux

Italian Spumante Wine from Tenuta Fontana

While Prosecco has long been a dominant force in the marketplace, Italy produces a vast range of sparkling wine including Spumante. David Kohl had the pleasure of tasting a crisp + citrusy Spumante with notes of honeycomb, orange blossom & ginger known as “ Olmo” upon meeting Antonio Fontana who now runs his family’s historic wine estate Tenuta Fontana, nearby to Napoli in Southern Italy. Produced from the regional native grape Asprinio, “Olmo” is named for the lush elm trees that grow along the vineyard. #wine #winepodcast #spumante #sparklingwine #tenutafontana #italianwineregions #campaniawine
