I'm bewitched ! Perhaps it's my Ligurian soul but this wine is just so good. Light maceration for Bosco and Albarola grapes, the classic Cinque Terre blend. The terroir is that of Monterosso. But here, the wine is beyond schemes. The nose is intense and so pure, white and yellow flowers, hawthorn and daffodiles, white and yellow peaches, wild herbs, exotic fruits, very harmonic. It makes me feel like walking the valley of Eden. In the mouth the balance is just perfect, body and roundness, the juice is fruity, mineral and herbaceous, acidic, savoury and persistent. I feel so lucky I found this bottle in the cellar tonight and so grateful to a friend that provided me with this rare bird. To be drunk at cellar temperature, definately not chilled.
