Vino Bianco Vermentino
This is one of those "holy fuck, where did gravity just go?!" wines. 100% Vermentinu Corso made from a Belgian of Sicilian descent, who returned to his island to grow vines and olives. More olives than vines. Any of which are particularly damn good, especially the Frappato -called Nerocapitano. But barring that wine, this is one of the most compelling versions, and perhaps clones, of Vermentino I have ever tasted. Not as oxidative than the 2013, also seems to have less skin contact, but I'm pretty sure it's only 48 hours, identical to the prior vintage. But its pristine! And senza chemica. The nose and palate transport me to a magical, far away land that I've never visited, but I cannot wait to go there.

Jun 5th, 20172015 lovely pale gold color. Fresh aromas of apricot, beeswax and citrus peel. Lively on the palate with perfect balance of acid and alcohol. Defined fruit flavors echo the nose. Long. #natural #delicious #stafftasting
