La Lista dei 100 VINI TOP secondo Wine Enthusiast

Con l'avvicinarsi della conclusione di questo 2016, Wine Enthusiast rende noto la sua TOP 100 dei Vini ritenuti i migliori e di pronta beva;

La lista è il risultato di quasi 22000 assaggi e tocca tutto il globo, dall'Italia al Sud Africa, passando per la Francia, Germania, Spagna e certamente le zone vinifere di "casa" americane;

l'italia piazza vini del Piemonte, Toscana, Veneto e Sicilia , e proprio quest'ultima regione con BENANTI ROSSO 2014 si aggiudica il terzo posto di questa clssifica; ma si nota anche COS e i COSUMANO con la linea ALTA MORA che si piazza rispettivamente all'8vo e al 12mo posto. Un risultato forse non così scontato considerando il resto dei vini citati, ma che denota (se ancora ce ne fosse bisogno) la grande capacità delle terre di SICILIA.

Complimenti !
