This is a teenager Cortese that decided to become a punk. But its parents accept the whims of the youth. So the rebelling spirit stays tamed. The bouquet is full of spoiled white plums, soaked white flowers, raw dough, kōcha kinoko, smoke, and pickles. To my taste, it lacks acidity (so not sure what destiny awaits this little rebel). Overall it is complex, multilayered, and even has some delicacy. And all these umami flavours (hello, mr Shiitake)! And the aftertaste of ripe, even baked fruits and pickles. A good find, for sure.

Savory herbs and earthy tones. Cortèse varietal. Golden color. Piedmont produces outstanding whites, not just barolos and barbarescos.

A lot of depth and complexity. Initially smoky with a chalky feel, afterwards showing herbal notes. Light fennel and anise on the finish. Top class natural Gavi.

Моча, минеральные какашки динозавров, кремень, порох, цедра желтого апельсина, спелая айва, бузина, абрикос, водоросли, нарцисс, укроп. Среднее тело с хорошей кислотностью и легкими, вяжущими танинами. Легкий натуральный фанк не идёт в ущерб питкой, сочной естественности. В меру комплексно и ощутимо минерально. Открыто, солнечно и харизматично.
