(663 views) | | | Tasted by der Schmecker on 4/2/2020 & rated 90 points: Light, refreshing, delicious. Not sweet, hint of melon. Really nice wine. (637 views) | | | Tasted by bvivio on 2/15/2020 & rated 90 points: Appearance: medium- green, medium tearing, no gas, no rim variation.
Nose: clean, youthful, pronounced intensity, honeydew melon, candied lime, tangerine, ripe white peach, cucumber, citrus blossom, jasmine, elderflower, wet stone, salty minerality.
Palate: dry, medium- acid, medium+ alcohol (13%), medium+ body, medium+ intensity, slight phenolic bitterness, medium finish, honeydew melon, candied lime, tangerine, ripe white peach, cucumber, citrus blossom, jasmine, elderflower, wet stone, salty minerality.
Overall: A delightfully aromatic white with lots of elderflower, melon, and cucumber notes. The acid is just high enough to be balanced, but it is helped by the slight phenolic bitterness. I doubt this wine will age gracefully, but it is super pretty at this young age and offers a lot of concentrated aromatic intensity if you're into that type of thing (I am). (538 views) | | | Tasted by MTC2 on 9/23/2019 & rated 91 points: If you enjoy aromatic wines, you’ll love this. Extremely floral, almost sweet aroma, but very dry palate. Some citrus and tropical notes. Finishes with eucalyptus. Very enjoyable, and like most Birichino wines, an incredible QPR. (543 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 5/20/2019: Highly perfumed on the nose. Loads of white flowers. Palate is a little bit denser and drier than expected. And really tasty.
Apparently this selection of vines is from Calabria giving it a bit more minty flowery ness to it.
This is the only wine that they innoculate. Because terpines bined up with other componds and the yeast clips those bond and makes them more volitile. Cold tolerant and release the terpines. Maximum bone dry, not bitter, and very aromatic. Apparently its very hard to get all three done.
Apparently also ages really well but very different vintage to vintage. Sometimes moves sideways. They say the wine Alsatianastes. Moving through all the tastes of all the Alsatian varieties. (772 views) |
| Birichino Producer websiteMalvasia Bianca Varietal character (Appellation America)USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
