]]> Spring has begun, meaning that warmer temperatures and sunnier, longer days are finally upon us. While most of us probably opt for heartier red wine during the winter months, the dawn of spring is a great excuse to start drinking your favorite whites.

Add these light, refreshing, and flavorful white wines to your list for the next time you head to the store!

Albariño

Albariño is one of the world’s trendiest white wines right now. Originating in northwestern Spain and Portugal, this crisp and dry white wine explodes with citrus flavors and pairs excellently with seafood.

Sauvignon Blanc

This French varietal is now grown throughout the world, as drinkers have fallen in love with the green apple, lime, white peach and passion fruit tones that Sauvignon Blanc offers. Zesty, sharp, and tending towards being a very young wine, this grape is perfect for spring.

Prosecco

Looking for something sparkling? Why not try Prosecco, Italy’s favorite sparkling white wine? The Glera grape is used to create a fizzy, brut-style sparkling white that is perfect for sipping while outside on the porch or at a picnic.

]]> Nothing quite goes together like summertime and white wine. Hot temperatures invite people to start sipping the lighter, more drinkable wine variety that becomes a favorite for many people around the world during the warmer months.

While we’ve all heard of varieties such as Pinot Noir and Riesling, one under-the-radar white wine that you’ll love if you can get your hands on it is called txakoli. This wine, originating from the Spanish portion of the Basque Country, is super dry, light, and it even has bubbles!

Txakoli (pronounced cha-ko-LEE) has been produced in the rainy, Atlantic regions of the Basque Country since the 15th century, when land owners began trying to use grapes to make a unique wine that would acquire characteristics of the region. They were successful, and mostly produced small batches to drink at home.

However, when the 1980s rolled around and Basque culture started to become more well-known inside of Europe and in the world as a whole, txakoli began to be sold and produced on a commercial level. Nonetheless, the traditional hallmarks of txakoli, such as manual harvest and its fizziness, stayed the same.

Txakoli has a low alcohol percentage and is extremely dry. It is often drunk before meals as an aperitif, as diners love to cleanse their palate with its carbonic and citrus-like flavors. It’s perfect for sipping while relaxing at the pool or outside in the summertime without food, as well.

If you can find txakoli, be sure to give it a try this summer!

Steak and Sangiovese is always a great match! And this time I’m enjoying a delicious grilled rib eye and this Rosso di Montalcino from Tenuta San Polo @allegrini.winery selected at @tannico.it wine shop 🍷📦! Rosso di Montalcino is made from Sangiovese grapes within the historical borders of the Municipality of Montalcino as its bigger brother, the Brunello di Montalcino 🍇. This DOC was created in order to make the most of the grapes from younger vines. The idea was to make a fresh and fruity style that can be enjoyed young and needs considerably less ageing time than Brunello, which is released 5 years after the year of the harvest. This gives producers of Brunello something to sell while waiting for their Brunello to age. Rosso di Montalcino is released on the September 1st following the year of harvest.

Well, this Italian sommelier is an expert in wine and telling stories. She travels the world (mostly Europe) trying delicious wine and telling the stories of the vineyards that she visits.

The large majority of the wines that she tries and the wineries that she visits are from Italy. The best wines in the world are from here, so why not?

@wineteller also travels to other countries from time to time to see sights and try wine, however. Take a look at this spectacular shot of a Spanish cava in front of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

In addition, since the genius behind this account is a master sommelier, you can learn a lot about wine pairings with food here. Often, she shares photos of perfect wine and food combinations. I’ve learned a lot about how to pair wine with food since following @wineteller.

Etna has become one of Italy's most exciting wine regions. Its volcanic soils, high elevations and unique terroir give life to exceptional wines, characterized by a distinctive freshness, great aging potential and fascinating minerality (yes, this is one of the few regions where we can certainly talk about minerality). While Nerello Mascalese is the protagonist of red wines of Mount Etna, Carricante is definitely the main protagonist of white wines. In fact, Carricante is the key grape variety behind white wines made under the Etna DOC, and it is required in all of the denomination's white wines. Carricante is an ancient grape variety, indigenous to this extraordinary region. In fact, it is thought to have been growing on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna for at least a thousand years. The variety is known for its marked acidity, and the high yields which inspired its name (carica means "load" in Italian). Today I’m tasting Buonora made by Tenuta Tascante @tascadalmerita from 100% Carricante grapes terracing on volcanic soils at 600 meters. If you haven’t tried this Etna Bianco you can find it at @tannico.it! Check the link in mi bio! #tannico #ad

In 1984, at the tender age of 20, Markus Molitor decided to take over his father's winery located in the heart of the German region of Mosel (home of the world’s finest Riesling wines). Although his young age, Markus Molitor had a clear aim: to produce Mosel Rieslings respecting his family winemaking tradition of eight generations.. but most of all, respecting the expression of this extraordinary grape variety in the terroir. In fact, when he took over the winery, while other Mosel producers were trying to compete with each other by making Rieslings that were sleeker and more elegant, he opted for structure, complexity and minerality as well as a great freshness and elegance… a true expression of his homeland’s amazing terroir and the full potential of this variety. Today @weingut_markusmolitor is one of the most celebrated producers in the region (and in the whole country)! Have you ever tried a Riesling made by this producer? #drinkstories

This white wine grape is known for its fresh, citrusy flavor. It pairs perfectly with fish and seafood.

Albariño grapes grow in the temperate Atlantic climate of northern Portugal and Galicia. Despite being located in two Mediterranean countries, this area is mild throughout the year and receives some of the highest rainfall totals in all of Europe.

The result is a white wine that is dry and not overly sweet, which is one of the principal complaints when evaluating most Spanish and Portuguese white wines. The temperature climate of the region and the characteristics of the Albariño grape allow for a citrusy, dry wine that is extremely refreshing.

Spanish Albariño wines are generally more dry than their Portuguese counterparts. The Rías Baixas wine region in Galicia produces some of the top white wines in the world using this grape.
