Dear wine-loving children, it's always your Cornelia, and Fabio De Vecchi asked me - for Father's Day - to choose my top 10 gifts.
However, instead of the usual ranking, I would like to give you some criteria for choosing the ideal gift for your beloved dad.
This year, I propose to choose a wine based on the character and the traits of your dad. Of course, it’s a game, just for fun, but it has a touch of truth.
I dug into my experience, the experience of my friends and their dads, and I selected these 10 characteristics, pairing each with a wine. So, what kind of dad do you have?
01/10
The tattoo dad who gladly shows off his muscles but has a sweet character.
He prefers a structured, alcoholic, and powerful wine, but at the same time, very soft. I recommend:
Amarone Classico DOCG Vigneti di Jago 2013 by Domini Veneti
02/10
The sensitive dad who is very attentive.
He prefers to discover the nuances of the wine, with an expressive organoleptic profile. I recommend:
Sauvignon Liende Friuli Colli Orientali DOC 2017 by La Viarte
03/10
The reassuring dad who is protective.
He prefers a wine of tradition, classic and recognized, so:
Mariagioconda Chianti Classico DOCG 2015 by Torcibrencoli
04/10
The traveler dad, the one who would love to take off with you to explore every corner of the world.
He prefers an indigenous wine, niche and special. I recommend:
Eremo San Quirico Irpinia Campi Taurasini Aglianico DOC 2017 by Nativ
05/10
The confident dad.
He prefers an important wine just like him, a name that guarantees quality:
La Palazzetta Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese Classico DOCG BIO 2015 by La Palazzetta.
06/10
The rock dad.
Nonconformist, he likes the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Sex Pistols but also the Maneskin, and in the car with him, the decibels are more than the bubbles in a Prosecco doc.
He prefers a wine that can keep up with his rhythm full of energy and positive vibes:
Giunonico Primitivo di Manduria DOP 2014 by Paolo Leo.
07/10
The indulgent dad, the one who loves the beautiful and good things in life. He can be recognized because he is always the happiest at the dinner table.
He prefers a dessert wine, sweet, versatile and satisfying, to share with friends:
Il Conio Vin Santo del Chianti DOC by Campo del Monte
08/10
The adventurer dad who loves to get into trouble but knows exactly how to tame them!
I recommend:
Etna Rosso DOC - Contrada Santo Spirito 2016 Particella 466 by Palmento Costanzo
09/10
The introverted dad, the one who might not be a great communicator, a reserved man, and a person of great value.
He prefers a wine that opens slowly to show all its beauty:
Caviot DOCG 2016 by Azienda Agricola Ca' Viola
10/10
The working dad: he has little time for his children but ensures they lack nothing.
He prefers a wine that pairs well with fish, so as not to feel too heavy:
Pinot Bianco Riserva Englar Alto Adige DOC 2017 by Tenuta Castel Englar
