Giramondo Gelso

Guarnaccia Bianca 2019

One of the three Guarnaccia Bianca produced on his on in Calabria.
@Delectable Wine This label is not the Giramondo, but it is called just "G" which stands for Guarnaccia
It aged 12 months in mulberry.
6 years of bottle age
It is a very unique wine with a change in the glass every 5 minutes. No rush in tasting this, please.
It has more of a Jura style than anything else.
Almondy, tobacco, spices, the fruits are complex, not just fresh or jammy. They feel mixed with the spices nearly like having a chai on the fruit.
Perhaps 500 bottle were produced, i was donated by Dino, the producer, 3 of the last 12 for the Masterclass at the Pollino Wine Fest.
I thought honestly this was an hard wine to connect with for everyone, but the ceowd got blown away.
Well done Dino Briglio!!

Giramondo Calabria Malvasia 2024

Giramondo was born unoaked, but this version with the more orange label rather than yellow it has an extra passage in acacia oak.
It is more compact and savoury perhaps
Very good wine, this can be quite a benchmark for the local malvasia. No brainer in a way, but plenty of flavour and intensity. I reckon the malvasia and the guarnaccia bianca are amazing expression in this region.
