Mar 10th, 2024Tasted with marvelous branzino with fresh herb and tomato “spring caponata,” this wine was an ideal embodiment in a glass of the “macchia,” the Italian version of the Rhône’s “garrigue.” Bright pear, apple, lemon and yellow plum with an underlying steely minerality and wonderful sensations of hay and salt air-tinged brush. Surprisingly juicy but also lean, it’s an ideal wine for fish

Jun 1st, 2022Very dry, very savory. Viscous texture, even creamy; mineral and saline flavors first and foremost with fruit taking a back seat. Nose has dried flowers, dried herbs and wet stone / seashell and lemon, palate adds fennel, peach, grapefruit to the mix. Distinctive
