Wine with Leslie: Wines to make you feel like you're in sunny Italy
Leslie Williams says he is craving sunshine more than usual this year and living on memories of sunny trips to wine country.
As I write, a sunny warm weekend is forecast so I’m praying the predictions are correct - I find I am craving sunshine more than usual this year and living on memories of sunny trips to wine country.
For warm sunny days I need wines from the south - the Rieslings and Blaufränkisch will keep for another day. I had a trip to Italy cancelled so in recent days I’ve been seeking out wines from all over the peninsula. There is a certain breed of older wine writer that doesn’t get Italy - even the otherwise brilliant Oz Clarke is only occasionally charmed by it - not me.
