Shared with a group and made the mistake of pnp. This wine needs to breathe! Fermentation funk!! Given enough time to air out, watermelon and candied pomegranite appear. Rare to find a wine that changes so much from nose to palate.

Color - Cloudy watermelon pink/red Aromas - Initial funky leesy aromas, but after a bit of air, red fruits, violets and savory dried herbs emerge. Body - Medium-bodied, frothy and very fresh Taste - Strawberry, tart raspberry, watermelon, and a hint of kiwi flavors complicated with, very appealing to me, savory saline notes. Finish - Medium
This is one of two wine Birichino makes from the Bechthold Vineyard, planted in 1886! The other is their Cinsault rouge. They use the saignéed juice from the Cinsault rouge as the base for this wine.

Give this time for the barnyard funk to blow off, and this becomes very enjoyable.

should have let it breathe. Nose of hard boiled eggs on PNP. Palate was fruity and delicious.
