Citrus acidity, malo richness, loooong finish, salinity, minerality, beautiful dried herbal note. Really should have aged this maybe 3-4 years. Exquisite.

An outstanding Italian white, I just had to taste again. 100% Carricante grown in deep volcanic soil, aged in French oak for 10 months . Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits and honeysuckle blossom. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot and lemon citrus with creamy vanilla wrapped in generous acidity, long finish ending with wet stone minerality. Nice, consistent quality.

Jun 28th, 2020Really evolved from open to finish. Started very light and linear mineral, opened up into a broad, Rich, oily drink. Light lemon flavors throughout, but the lava really came through late. Yummy and interesting but less delicious than other vintages of Vigna niche I recall...

Mooie wijn, alleen nog veel te jong!

Nov 12th, 2024Super concentrated & quite aromatic. Salty beach pebbles, ripe apricots, but also a bit of salted caramel, tarte tatin and a lot of rocky, salty minerality. Intriguing.
Quite unctuous & rich on the palata, but also very fresh - zingy acidity, salty minerality countering the richness. This is definitely a food wine… but such an interesting one. Not everyone’s cup of tea but I love it!

Minerality is through the roof! A little stone fruit up front, then the finish is like drinking a rock. Great on its own, or with savory snacks.
