Vodopivec
Classica Vitovska
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
See Delectable note from 44 weeks ago where the use of amphorae and skin contact is described. Essentially an orange wine - that description best describes the colour. Profound intensity with pear and cumquat notes. With time that pineapple juice note reappeared. From the rare Vitovska grape. Probably more a Slovenian wine than a wine from Veneto in style. The kids loved it needless to say.

The color of unfiltered apricot juice with a golden orange hue. The nose has a sweet apricot petrol blood orange zest thing going on. Almost like the white of the orange. All of this carries over into the palate with acidity on the sides and tannin drying up the top of the tongue. The fruit is still there, but can’t imagine that lasting much longer without the tertiary flavors taking over. Great with ground veal, capers, orecchiette and white wine sauce.
