Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, September 27, 2017 - It's very rare that Josko decides to make a varietal PInot Grigio, but in 2006 he decided the grapes were suitable. There'll be 2011 coming down the line too... but nothing after that as the vineyards have been grubbed up in favour of Ribolla Gialla.

This has an incredible brownish pink, burnished hue. The nose is pungent, with notes of caramel, nuts and mocha (not really oak-driven though, this was fermented in Ampohra and aged in 2,000 - 5,000 litre casks as with everything else).
It's fiery and nutty on the palate, tight and focused but to me doesn't have the electricity of Ribolla treated in the same way. Nor the structure.

Impressive, but why drink this when you could drink a Gravner Ribolla?
