It is not (yet) the wines made by Göran Amnegård at the Blaxta vineyard south of Stockholm (Sweden) that has reached Italy but it is his reputation. Blaxta is perhaps the Swedish vineyards that has achieved the most international attention, especially his sweet ice wines. That may have to do both with his talents as winemaker and as marketer (he once worked with marketing and exports).
The Italian wine web site Chronache di Gusto recently published an article on the wines from Blaxta: A surprise, even in Sweden they make wine. And as if that was not enough, the article was written by BKWine’s person on location in Italy, Åsa Johansson!
We say a big congratulation to both Göran Amnegård and to Åsa. It can not be easy to get into Italian media, not as a Swedish winemaker, nor as a Swedish wine writer!
