Pulgia, Italy
£10, Cornelius Beer and Wine
I've had this bottle sitting on my wine rack for a little while and have been meaning to find time to open it. Watching the election pundits try to predict what was going to happen yesterday evening before the polls actually closed proved an opportune time.
This was one of the wines Mr BFWT and I brought back with us from Sicily. After a long week on both our parts we decided to crack it open with Friday dinner.
Inzolia, also known as Ansonica, is a grape variety grown in the western areas of Sicily, not too far away from where we were staying in Palermo.
I absolutely adore limoncello. It probably helps that lemon is one of my favourite flavours and that I like sugary cocktails. It feels quite classy drinking a few fingers worth neat from a glass tumbler (like whiskey, but for those of us who prefer fruit-based alcohol).
Like normal human beings, the checked luggage Mr BFWT and I had was empty going to Sicily and completely filled to the weight limit with food and alcohol on the way back. (Please tell me we are not the only ones who do this!)
We ended up buying a few bottles of limoncello when we were there, and I decided it was only fitting to do a taste test.
