Awards & Tasting Notes
2022
Very pale gold. Lightly spicy aroma, ripe yellow fruit with an underlying stony/mineral slant. A hint of dried grasses from the skin contact, and orangey citrus. Lovely balance between the gentle tannins and the creamy citrus on the palate, plus just-ripe apricot flavours. Complexity as much from the structure as the flavour. Long and elegant with a sour finish adding to the freshness. Delicate for a skin-contact wine even if it was only on the skins for a short time. Drink 2022- 2025 (JH). Jancis Robinson Wines 17
Deep straw yellow with buttercup-yellow tinges. Richer and deeper on the nose than Nostalgia with bags of dried-apricot and quince fruit and hints of salted capers and bread crust. Compact and still a little closed, while viscous and displaying real depth. Conveys a sense of lightness in weight. Long and lingering and with bitter-orange hints on the finish. At the beginning of its evolution. Drink 2022- 2030 (WS) Jancis Robinson Wines 17
Color: Golden yellow with golden reflections, clear and bright Fruity: Grapefruit and citron Floral: Withered rose, almond blossom
Vegetable: Field grass in the sun
Minerality: Flint
Aromatic herbs: Thyme, sage, oregano, slight mentholated note Spicy: Cinnamon, white
pepper
Taste: Dry and with an elegant alcoholic warmth. The acidity, albeit contained, leaves room for volume and flavor with a nice mentholated after taste return. Long persistence with a precise closure of the mouth that left the palate satisfied.
Good to drink right now but with medium prospects, the aging in the bottle is giving interesting characters thanks to the extraction of precursors in pre-fermentative maceration. – Amedeo Barbato, Enologist
