El dia de l’Albarinyo

Els de Wine Folly s’han empescat un ‘Calendari del Vi‘ o ‘Official Wine Day Calendar‘ i sembla ser que l’1 d’Agost és el dia de l’Albarinyo (o Albariño en castellà i Alvarinyo en portugués).

Sempre el trobareu fresquet a Agüita

Si voleu saber-ne més, tenen la seva descripció de l’Albarinyo, força acurada (el WineFolly ja ho té això de ser acurat): Albariño wine (“alba-reen-yo”) is a refreshing coastal white from the Iberian Peninsula, loved for its rich stone fruit flavors, hint of salinity, and zippy acidity.

I també, una bona explicació de l’acidesa en el vi, una de les principals característiques de l’Albarinyo.

English version

The folks at Wine Folly have put together a Wine Calendar, or Official Wine Day Calendar, and it turns out that August 1st is Albariño Day (called Albarinyo in Catalan and Alvarinho in Portuguese).

If you’d like to know more, they have their own description of Albariño, quite thorough (Wine Folly is nothing if not thorough): Albariño wine (“alba-reen-yo”) is a refreshing coastal white from the Iberian Peninsula, loved for its rich stone fruit flavors, hint of salinity, and zippy acidity.

And also a good explanation of acidity in wine, one of Albariño’s main characteristics.
