June 13, 2021 - Meh not in the vein of that first bottle that was so good - this bottle seemed a bit too rounded off. Salty minerality is still there but it is dominated by pear and peach and could use a more acidic backbone.
October 4, 2020 - Such a bargain!!
October 4, 2020 - One of the best value whites out there
June 10, 2020 - Lysegul og litt gylden på farge.
Duften minner om søtlig melon, sitrus. Lett tropisk preg. Merkbar ny eik, men ikke overdøvende.
Smaken følger lukten. Oljete. Litt honningtoner. I tillegg tydelige mineraler og fint saltpreg. Litt alkohol merkes, men med fruktsødmen og syren blir dette leskende. God balanse. Lettdrikkelig. Ørlite bitterhet i en nokså lang og fruktig utgang, noe som faktisk kler vinen.
Eiken og syren skaper en interessant vin her, som etter min smak fort kunne bikket mot det litt for varme. Men ikke noen flabby show-stopper her altså!
Nb: ikke fat, men ståltanker. Malo i stedet for Eik?
Funket godt til carbonara og middelhavsinspirert lun kyllingsalat. Bør drikkes lett avkjølt.
Bra til prisen!
Interessant bekjentskap. Tester gjerne mer carricante.
April 5, 2020 - A lot of wine for small money.
August 8, 2019 - Like licking a salty dry stone
Lots of power but extremely drinkable
Carricante low oak if any is better
June 28, 2019 - Medelintensivt gul färg. Tydlig och fantastisk mineralton. Hav. I övrigt lite åt gul frukt och melon-hållet. Frisk syra. Smaken något mindre intensiv än doften.
April 29, 2019 - Pale lemon colour
Young on nose with medium(-) intense aromas of apple, nuts, white flowers (lilac), lemon, pineapple. Has a plastic minerality and seems slightly oxidized (a mixture of marzipan and faint cork).
Young, medium intensity of flavours (as above).
Dry, medium+ acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, medium- finish.
March 31, 2019 - Apple and lemon, bit of straw and chamomile. Medium acid. Short finish. Lacking the textural depth, precision, or composure of the Le Vigne Niche Calderara of past years and a bit less than the 2016 entry level too. Still nice and good QPR under 20.
March 24, 2019 - Another bottle, still very nice for the price but not as good as the last bottle, had a green note and slight alcoholic bitterness this time. More of a yellow plum note than before as well. Still very chuggable and food frlendly even with a spicy pasta tomato sauce.
