Christmas time a Luca Bevilacqua Yesterday i spent an afternoon with some of my friends in Italy at the home of Luca Bevilacqua a very long ago friend. We started with a rose from south of france in the north of the Alpilles in the communes Saint Remy de Provence. The producer was Domaine Milan; Henry Milan the owner of the vineyard which started in 1986 after which, took over from his father Robert who began in 1956. Henry introduced in the farming an organic approach and moved towards biodinamic and also with a great geological diversity and different climates, soon separated the estate into different vineyards like in Burgundy and create the "Clos Milan". Afinest producer of the Provence! The first, we had was a rosé from  Milan called LE JARDIN 2009 made with Grenache noire, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Mourvedre  The color was bright similar to red skin onoiun reflecting a delicate amber color, cherry was predominate on the nose a bit reductive w
