Our Father’s Day Gift Guide: a wonderful rosé book & fine prosecco


We can’t image a Father who doesn’t love rosé wine. We have the perfect book for him: The Book of Rosé: The Provençal Vineyard That Revolutionized Rosé by Whispering Angel and Château d’Esclans published by the great house of Rizzoli New York.

Château d’Esclans’s impressive estate extends across 660 acres in the heart of Provence, France. Dating back to the time of the Gauls, vines have grown on this land for centuries. When its founder Sacha Lichine acquired the property in 2006, he was destined to shake up the wine world: he set out to create the best rosés and to forever transform their place in the collective imagination, from accessible rosés to ultra-premium, luxury wines.

Exquisitely photographed, the never-before-published images showcase the history and spirit of Château d’Esclans, which inspired the “rosé revolution.” From Martin Bruno’s spectacular images of the vineyards throughout the seasons to food and travel writer Lindsey Tramuta’s fascinating exploration of the wine-making process and the people behind it, The Book of Rosé: The Provençal Vineyard That Revolutionized Rosé  invites readers to discover how rosé wines come to life, and how they embody the essence of summer insouciance and the Provençal art de vivre. Esclans’s most popular bottles—Whispering Angel, Rock Angel, Les Clans, and Garrus—are icons of contemporary oenology, beloved by celebrities and lauded by wine experts alike.

It may have required an imaginative leap to believe that Sacha Lichine would pull off the wholesale reinvention of rosé, but not even Lichine himself could have anticipated the extent to which the consumer would elevate his style of rosé to more than a wine but to a state of mind. The Book of Rosé is the perfect summer read for rosé enthusiasts (and makes a lovely host gift as well!).  The book is $75 and as pretty a pink that exists.

VOGA PROSECCO DOC STILL

Your Father has no doubt tasted bubbles. It’s time for him to taste, well, the wine! Were here to sound the trumpets for VOGA ITALIA PROSECCO DOC, a bubble-free still wine of distinction.

Prosecco is a versatile Italian wine and now comes in different styles, including sparkling (spumante), semi-sparkling (frizzante), and still (tranquillo). The terms “spumante,” “frizzante,” or “tranquillo” will indicate whether the wine is sparkling, semi-sparkling, or still, respectively. The cultivation of Glera and the production of Prosecco wine have historical roots dating back to Roman times. Then In the 1800s, Prosecco wine gained popularity and recognition in the Veneto region. Traditionally, Prosecco was a still wine and it was enjoyed by the local population, and its production methods evolved over time.

While Prosecco is renowned for its sparkling version, there has been a come-back of still Prosecco. The production of still Prosecco involves fermenting the wine in tanks, similar to the Charmat method, but without the second fermentation that creates the bubbles. This results in a calm, non-sparkling wine that retains the fruity and floral characteristics of the Glera grape.

Still Prosecco offers a different tasting experience, showcasing the unique qualities of the Glera grape. The history of Prosecco still is intertwined with the broader history of Prosecco production in Italy, reflecting the evolution and diversification of this popular Italian wine.

VOGA ITALIA Still Prosecco presents the main characteristics of Glera grape with pleasant floral and fruity aromas. The still version has a smoother and creamier texture, which allows to focus more on the grape’s natural characteristics. Its refreshing acidity contributes to its overall drinkability and makes it a popular choice as an aperitif or a wine to enjoy on its own. https://vogaitalia.com/
