Cruasé: few joys, many sorrows

Sorry to always suppress individual labels, even more sorry to crush an entire category. Sorry end when the type is high in pharaonic regalia from investment promotional measures to convince the world of workers in that beautiful image is hidden behind so content to the expectations created by the newsboys. But let's start with
order. Last night, in a princely setting of the rose garden of the Villa Reale in Monza , there was a large bank of wine-tasting dell'Oltrepo Pavese. Bianchi and red, with particular attention to this classic method from Pinot Noir grapes, fresh DOCG, and its variant in pink, thanks to some shrewd mind, from 2010 will be known as Cruas (+ cru rosé) . A registered trade mark, of course. Because a word so beautiful and brilliant likely to attract hordes of counterfeiters, eager to replicate elsewhere for a product so talented . And here I apologize to the producers - that yes - very large bubbles from Trentino.
Want to be attached with nails to the sophistication of the wine world that can bring interesting business contacts, either by personal curiosity, I showed up at night trying not to think at that meeting that I had been terrible in the press room with Vinitaly Pinot Noir Rosé one of the leading manufacturers dell'Oltrepo. Indeed, none of the labels in the taste of the Villa Reale Serrone replied distantly lowest level of that stinking wine, stumbled in a year obviously unfortunate, since it will be a chance, but was wisely left at home by the manufacturer that this time preferred to get on display with two of Blanc de noirs discrete invoice.
However, after having had a certain number of times the cup of the future Cruas, I had the distinct impression, confirmed by my fellow wine tasting is a wine that it is absolutely overestimated. Often, citrine, and bitter with recurrent fart of garlic and onion very uninviting.
Urge point out, however some labels virtuous.

The virtuous
Of all the OP Metodo Classico Pinot Nero Rosé, company Fiamberti was marked by the body, elegance, fine bubbles and pleasant to drink. Good confirmed also by big names like Ca 'di Frara , author of a discrete Cruas.
Other Classic Method Vengomberra a special commendation to the Brut, a vintage of Pinot Noir Chardonnay + bone-dry and very fine product from the Bruno Verdi. Remarkable, finally, the Blanc de noirs della Fattoria il Gambero .

In conclusione
Stando alla degustazione, il pinot nero conferma il suo carattere difficile soprattutto nella vinificazione in rosa. Lo standard qualitativo medio non riesce ad entusiasmare e, nonostante i toni trionfalistici di Carlo Alberto Panont, direttore del Consorzio Tutela Vini Oltrepò Pavese , dimostra che l'Oltrepo Pavese è distante ancora anni luce dalla Montagna di Reims. Prendiamone atto e cerchiamo di non far ricadere sul consumatore finale il costo di una campagna promozionale tanto ambiziosa.
