I have decided to include a weekly wine feature on this blog. As I currently live in Switzerland, it will concentrate on Swiss wine but may showcase wines from guest countries, if I am travelling.
So, here we have the inaugural post of Weekly Wine.

2012 Merlot Bianco Bucaneve DOC Cagi
Cantina Giubiasco
Charming wine from Ticino, in the south of
Switzerland. A white Merlot, unusual for it’s straw colour, rather than blush. As
suggested by its name, meaning ‘snowdrop’, crisp and dry with a slightly buttery
aftertaste. Great as an aperitif; goes splendidly with Asian food.
Founded in 1929, Cagi-Cantina Giubiasco produces 600,000 bottles of wine per year, 90% from the Merlot varietal.
