A white that surprises even who knows it very well, very unique.
Literally it changes every time you put the nose in the glass; it starts with an apple that becomes a tart tatin with a little cinnamon, then goes to almondy, raw liquorice. Unbelievable minerality that balances that softness that is there, wet turquoise is what comes in my head🙄. The finish is that of a great wine with a symphony of all the flavours that play together.🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

Stone fruit and then apple tart with a bit of fruit peel. Reminded me a bit of chenin blanc. Waves of minerality. Would drink again

地味な昔ながらのドメーヌ。
岩塩の旨味を感じると言う飛鳥ちゃんのプレゼンテーション
ズッキーニ、リコッタチーズ
ナポリのグラニャーノ 風が吹くので乾麺の街  ベルノチェッリと言う太めのパスタにピッタリ。

Yes, the old lady did it again!! This oak-aged Vernaccia is marvellous. Nuts and dried yellow fruit are in a perfect harmony swirling together trough my nose 🤣 this is a rich Asian spiced wine. One of my al time favourites, grap some if you can❤️

Yet another great glass Carato 2012, unfortunately my last bottle. It was a great trip with this year, now up to another year.
