This is one interesting beastie. From way up north…St. Moritz not so far away. All, as I understand it, done by one Renato Motalli. 80 years of age now, no one to pass the winery on to. So…get ‘em while you may.
I aired this for 3 hrs then decanted for 90 mins…this may not have been enough, as with air the complexity keeps evolving.
On the nose, there is an aged Barolo kind of pressed, half dried Cherry mixed with damp woods kind of thing. Evolving into sweet tobacco and kirsch. At first, this wine presents much more Burgundian than northern Italian. But with time and air, a northern Italian identity comes to the fore. Chestnut Botti, huh? There’s no vanilla or wood tannin, but the man has found a way to create a living, changing wine. With a thrown together ragú , tomato, beef, blanched bacon, and lots of mushrooms it coats the palate and begs for more.
As time goes on post dinner, it’s more intriguing, soft but sharp as well.
Glad to have some more to experiment with and see if prolonged time makes a difference.
Very interesting.

2018 was the very first vintage for this young French - Colombian couple in Albé (the only mountainous zone in Alsace) and the results are impressive. This is their high end Pinot Gris from the Steinacker vineyard at over 400 meters of altitude on schistuous soils. A blend of 3 different vinification techniques (stainless steel, oak and amphora) that has spent 9 months on the lees. Beautiful nose of white peach and flowers, with an uncommon minerality. Concentrated and juicy with real depth and impressive length, this is the most exciting Pinot Gris I have tasted in a long time from a region where this grape is way too often characterised by excessive residual sugar. Abv. 14,5 %. — 6 years ago
