Skin fermented Cortese from Gavi. Grippy, marmalade, amaro like herbs, wild honey. Hard to find but worth the hunt!

Savory hazelnut, bacon, fava bean, wonderful. Quite stinky when initially opened. Cork - PU!

Totally out there wine. Orange wine in stainless. Super fresh. You can feel the skins. Orange and grapefruit rind on the palate. Very fresh and juicy. Really really juicy. A hint of bitterness. Amazing change of pace wine. A great wine to have twice a year. I had it with salad and oueffs en meurette.

This was the funkiest dirtiest nastiest bottle of wine I have ever opened. Either this bottle was off or they should sell their vineyards to build condos.

Totally interesting and way good. Funk at first that blows off. Still a bit tannic. Iced tea. Passion fruit. Long. Just awesome and not like any wine I've had.

Man this is awesome. Some funk on the nose blows off. Then it's the most delicious passion fruit tea with tons of other flavors. Crazy wine.
