The renowned Italian winemaker, Loris Tonon

‘CIAO AUSTRALIA’ IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR FINE ITALIAN WINE AND FOOD, YOU MUST CONSIDER THE VENETO REGION OF NORTHERN ITALY. Veneto’s capital, Venice, is one of the world’s top tourist destinations, claiming 60 million visitors a year. Its attractions are too numerous to list in this article, so we suggest a visit to the Veneto region, as it will give you that, afterglobe (a warm, fuzzy feeling one gets after a long immensely satisfying trip).

Agricultural products of the Veneto region include cattle, corn, wheat, sugar beets, and of course grapes. Veneto devotes almost 250 thousand acres to grapevines. The importance of winemaking in this region is underscored by the creation in 1885 of the first Italian school for wine growing.

The renowned Italian winemaker, Mr Loris Tonon continues this fine wine making tradition of the Veneto region and is pleased to announce the re-lease of his Villa Teresa range of wines into the Australian market.

Vini Tonon is a family ruled winery situated on the gentle foothills of Veneto’s Pre-Alps,

in the town of Carpesica di Vittorio, Veneto.

The Villa Teresa range of wines is designed to of-fer Australian wine lovers a product close to wine grape growing traditions. The grapes used come from naturally cultivated vineyards where the vine and its fruit are carefully nurtured without using chemical agents such as synthetic fertilizers, weed killers, insecticides or genetically modified organ-isms.

The name Camúl originates from a small piece of land in Carpesica, where the Tonon family have grown the flower for their wine production since the beginning of the century. The tradition of hand picking their grapes continues, alongside a passion and pride for their vineyards. The final product, Camul Cabernet Sauvignon, is a first class wine of premium quality, which represents the excellence of the company.(For stockists and more information on these products, email info@nlw.net.au)

TOM’s TASTING TIPS

One of the many things I’ve learnt on my journey about wine is it gives you the ability to indulge your senses on a regular basis, without burn-ing a hole in your back pocket. I firmly believe that your level of enjoy-

ment determines the value of the wine, and in Australia we are certainly spoilt for choice.

It is easy to indulge yourself with wine as long as you fol-low the golden rule……. “If you like it, drink it”!

Learning about wine is like a long journey, there is always something exciting around every corner and just when you think you have seen everything, something new always grabs you by surprise.

Tim Adams, The Fergus (Retail $23.00)One of my all-time favourite wines. Wonderful on its own or perfect with BBQ meats and roast turkey. Lots of lovely red berries on the nose and palate, hints of spice, with supple tannins. Simply put, its soft and juicy…… just delicious.

Tom owns Tom’s Cellars and has over a decade of experience in thewine industry.

Don’t worry what your friends think, as we all have different tastes.

In future editions of Indulge, I will provide you with tasting tips of my favourite wines, winemakers and regions. Each month I will showcase wines that I have discovered on my journeys.

So let me start you off with two wines that you will be able to indulge in on a regular basis.

Over a decade ago I started out on my wine journey. I’m very excited to now have you along for the ride. ...........Till the next drop!
