Italian organic wines in Thailand

kirimaya

Set in 800 acres of lush greenery bordering a UNESCO World Heritage National Park, rainforest and majestic mountain range in Khao Yai, Thailand, two unique 64-room resorts, Kirimaya and Muthi Maya, two hours by road, north-east of Bangkok,

At a much anticipated live culinary event held beside their organic farm on 12 August - Kirimaya's private organic wine label was launched over a gastronomic evening by Executive Chef David Bedinghaus and his team.

Two organic wines have been created exclusively for Kirimaya at the Castello Colle Massari Winery in Tuscany, by renowned winemaker Maurizio Castelli.

Rigoleto 2007 is an intense ruby red wine with a fruit nose; marked by a sweet spiciness with notes of black fruit. This is a very pleasant full-bodied wine which is smooth and round in taste and pairs beautifully with meat dishes and medium ripe cheeses.

Melacce 2010 is a fruity white wine with a rich straw yellow colour, this wine has an intense nose with clear fruity traces of green apple and white peach, together with floral notes of citrus fruits. It enters the mouth fresh and sweet, with a pleasant acidity and a good length. This wine makes an excellent pair with all fish preparations; is ideal with antipasti and makes a perfect aperitif.

The ColleMassari Winery Group is Italy's largest and most awarded organic winery. It has a total farmland area of 390 hectares which is surrounded by 1200 hectares of state forest. The 115 hectare winery produces five red wines and two white wines as well as grappa and organic olive oil. Their state of the art wine cellar is imbedded in 20 metre deep rocks, giving it a naturally cool and humid environment which uses limited energy.

In 2011 ColleMassari wines were awarded the maximum three green glasses award by Gambero Rosso and their Rosso Riserva label was selected by prestigious Swiss Air to be served in their Business Class cabins as Discovery of the Year.

Guests and visitors to this unique resort can now enjoy these organic Italian wines especially made for Kirimaya Khao Yai, as well as explore the local vineyards and enjoy wine tastings in the surrounding area near the resorts.
