Top Notes For
Ceccherini Cristiano

Floral nose, ripe fruit, exotic, white wet rocks
Fresh, minerally and incisive.
Fat and sweet, but also sharp
Good balance
It will age for a while
From the Berg vineyard they source the grapes for the "M" gruner veltliner and the "Unendlich" Riesling

Corked, but the plastic wrap thing worked and the wine emerged a bit broad, but still linear and focused.

In the zone. Quite bright and exhibiting some petrol, but mostly just electric and crystalline.

2001 vintage. Been decanting for 3 hours now. Starting to come around finally. Honey and peaches and diesel. We shall see how it progresses.
