White Baal 2006 Colli di Salerno IGT  | 15/10/2007 |
| HOUSE BAAL Grape: side, Malvasia, Trebbiano Price range: 5 to 10 euro fermentation and maturation: steel After years of substantial immobility, including the Salerno campaign has begun to get going. We speak of the territories is very suited pearl composition of the soil, clay and limestone, both for the exposure of the hills, between 100 and 300 meters, all lying on the sea front, with good ventilation and temperature range. A marked above all by the olive farming, but also from a vineyard mixed composite of many varieties, sangiovese, barbera, merlot, Aglianico, planted in the '60s and '70s. It is this variety of land indecision was the reason for the choices made by Silvia Imparato top 90s, but now is emerging very strongly the desire to focus on two grape varieties, Aglianico and Fiano, following the example of successful, agricultural and commercial, Cilento. So did Mila Vuolo, so Fabio Miletto The Tower on his estate in Battersea, so you are converting the four and a half hectares of vineyard in this farm purchased in 1978 by the Salerno family, now in its fourth generation involved in agriculture, specializing in the cultivation olive (Rotondella, Frantoio and Leccino) sees Hannibal's father committed to work in the countryside, Mario children for oil, Giuseppe and Francesca for wine. After having to sell their grapes for many years, in 2005 it was decided to get in own with the help of Fortunato Sebastiano, the young winemaker Ariano Irpino already engaged in Salerno with De Conciliis, Real, and, in the area, with the new company to Nicodemus Pontecagnano. Different winemakers, we said, but a unique address, Aglianico and Fiano. Or, as in the case of Longo Bellizzi that the vineyards nearby, Moscato and Lambiccato. The Salerno family owned about 30 acres, well maintained as a garden, a hill that overlooks a hundred yards on the Sele plain overlooking the sea and the Amalfi Coast: home, oil mills (traditional stone and modern continuous cycle) and cellar. With the grapes it was decided to travel the same road short made for the oil, and bottled in beautiful packaging, that allows satisfaction and above all income (the brand is The Olive Grove, www.loliveto.org). The two first vintage of wines labeled, then, are transitional, with vineyards in conversion (via barbera and sangiovese replaced with the Aglianico, ditto for trebbiano replaced by fiano). We can therefore judge the fruit of 2006, truly exceptional, having tested in the 2007 vintage tank that is presented in the name of good prospects for both the Fiano, Aglianico, destined to become a major part of a new cut of the masses and therefore more characterized in the bottle. The 2006 Rosso di Baal is really strong, well too woody fruity dopoil first impact due to the use of new barrels, excellent thick, fresh, beautiful plot constructed by tannins that are already solved. Bianco di Baal has a rather strong aroma impact, similar to the Dry Muscat Cantina di Venosa, due to the combination of Malvasia, maybe even a little 'Moscato and Fiano, but the drink is significantly structured and fresh despite the Trebbiano , really nice. A tempting opportunity for those restaurants here in March are no longer white wine to be consumed in the Campania region because almost everything is over, aided by the long hot and the further reduction of the kitchen. To pair with seafood or sweet and sour cod, or even a good provola from buffalo milk. MontecorvinoRovella at a stain. Via Tiziano, 14. Tel 089.981143. info@casadibal.it.
