Voulet Antichi Giochi Piemontesi Casorzo

6/4/2013

Picture
In my last post, I wrote about a Moscatel that surprised everyone that tasted it because it was not stereo-typically sweet.  Today, I am going opposite. Most times, when someones speaks of an Italian Red, they first conjure up Chianti or even a Super Tuscan.  The stereotype is big and bold.  That all changes when you pop open a bottle of Voulet Antichi Giochi Piemontesi Casorzo.

The first thing that I noticed about this wine is that it is made in a Frizzante style.  Frizzante means Semi-Sparkling.  Yes, you read that right.  It is a red wine with effervescence. After the initial shock of the tongue tickling you experience, more surprises come.

This wine is low alcohol and it is very sweet.  I would almost describe it as a sparkling sangria of sorts. It has a ton of fruit and goes more towards a sparkling grape juice rather than wine.  The bonus is that is does have alcohol!

 This is the wine for the non-wine drinker.  People who say I don't like wine will not say that when this is their glass on your patio!

Voulet Antichi Giochi Piemontesi Casorzo in a nutshell:

Description:  Extremely easy to drink due to very low alcohol content. Surprising effervescence gives an added source of conversation.  Tons of fruit consisting of mostly raspberry, elderberry and concord flavors.  

Pairings:  A perfect wine to accompany chocolate based desserts.  Also, would be great with spicy BBQ on the grill during summer months for something different.

Price: Varies per website/market.  Should be in the $11.99 to $17.99 range.

If you pay more than 7.99 for this bottle of your being taken. I rate it as nothing more than mildly spiked sparkling fruit juice. No more equipment than Martinelli's sparkling juice

This wine, to my knowledge, is (or was) only sold in two stores in the USA - one in Washington DC and the other in Fredericksburg VA. I usually ordered a case at a time from the store in Fredericksburg but I have been unable to find it on their website lately. The store's website is www.kybecca.com if you want to give it a try.

You can find this wine at Whole Foods in Fairfax, VA: 4501 Market Commons Dr, Fairfax, VA 22033. I picked up a bottle last week: $12.99. This wine is delightful. The U.S. importer is: Michael R. Downey Selections, Inc., Lorton, VA.

I got it twice at the Wine-Liquor (STATE) store in Cloverly , Maryland just outside of Washington DC. Description is accurate. Sparkling, sweet, low alcohol content. More like grape juice than wine. Pleasant but a surprise to me both times because it was shelved with the Chiantis.

This is where I purchase mine from. A spot I found in DC. My only regret is not going to pick it up because it cost $30+ to ship, but other than that, $12.99 a bottle is a steal.

This wine is delicious. I did not want to try it at first because I do not like red wine but after being told that it was sweet I tried it. The best red wine I have every tasted and it's more exciting when you drink it out of a Olivia Pope glass (the wine glasses she drinks out of on Scandal)!

Love this wins, Was not a wine drinker always got headaches after drinking just a glass. Not with this wine. Can only fine it in Whole Foods in Richmond $14.99 but you save 10% if you buy 6 bottles. Pool with friends and buy 6 at a time.

Idon't care for red wine. I was introduced to it at a New year's eve party and fell in love with it.
