After years of martinis and margaritas, my husband and I finally grew up and have dipped our proverbial toe in the scary world of wine. We have tried many a new wines at the occasional nyc dinner “wine pairings” and have gone to several vineyards but still do not have the level of wine-knowledge to read a label in order to find a wine dupe. We are currently obsessed with these two wines (a white and red) from the same maker, Pedra Niedda in Sardinia Italy. We have sold out the two closest wine stores by us (whom we have convinced to stock these two wines) several times but we would love a “dupe”! Or some guidance on how to find one.
The first is a white wine, called Tittia. It is made with 100% indigenous semidano grape. 50% aged in stainless steel vats and 50% in French oak tonneaux. The taste is definitely “glou glou” (sorry), bright and lemony.
The second is a red wine, called Basca. It is also made with 100% indigenous semidano grape. 80% aged in stainless steel vats and 20% in French oak tonneaux. This wine is super juicy and silky. I think it tastes of jammy fruits like blackberries and cherries.
Wine luminaries, please help these two old newbs. Regards-
