Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
Seriously created and very individual stuff. I realise its quality, but it's not appealing to my personal tastebuds. Weird pricing too.

Defies easy description, almost disconcertingly fresh and alive, charming and inviting (read: not aggressively oxidative) but worthy of contemplation. Called to mind not only flavors of toasted nuts, dried apricots, orange peel, cinnamon, nutmeg and caramel but things that aren’t even food, like amber and mahogany and musty cellars. Mind bending.

The 2004 vintage of this iconic #Ribolla #Gialla from #Gravner. Savory, umami, dried red berries + herbs. Deliciousness.

Apr 22nd, 2015Very particular wine, conserved into underground amphoras as in the ancient middle-East tradition of Georgia. To be decanted at least 1 hour and half before tasting...
