Here’s a fun one to try, the native Katsuda grape from Bulgaria. Not a lot of oranges out there so I’m always up for trying one when I come across them. Fascinating bouquet of tangerine pith and grapefruit rind, honeysuckle and orange blossom, walnuts, turpentine, and cold steel. On the palate fresh orange and pineapple slices, ripe peaches and grapes, with notes of bitter greens, ginger, and well integrated woodiness, and a pungent heat of white and cayenne pepper on the finish. Fresh juicy mouthfeel with a fairly short finish (which is great as I’ve been in a mood for light summer sippers lately) except for the spice heat which lingers a good while. Would probably go fantastic with salads or light starches like pilaf or farro. — 3 years ago

20231123 Rest. La Libera, Alba with Wakano
Very nice wine, a bit on the heavy side but this is given by the year 2007. Nice deep red and some taste of rhubarb, little tanin. Friendly to drink.

Um ano mais e estaria perfeito. Secura ideal e o tradicional gosto de abacaxi maduro. No restaurante onde estou, serviram muito gelado. Um pouco mais fresco libera mais os aromas minerais. — 8 years ago
In reality it is a Blanc de Blanc. Excellent. We had it at Osteria Libera in Alba with Davide, Lilly, Ferruccio, Luca and Cristiano. Memorable! — 2 years ago
This wine is actually the Melnik 55
made from 100% Melnik grapes.
Smells like walking through a cherry orchard, with a mug of coffee in hand.
Mulberry, touches of vanilla, Italian coffee, the wine is of a hefty medium bodied well made wine, with a cocoa tannin overture, and pinch of acidity. A solid wine, — 3 years ago
