Piemonte Wimps (La Trompette): Lovely stuff with a fascinating story - evidently this is a somewhat rare indigenous grape variety whose name is not permitted to be printed on the label. Medium pale yellow. On the palate - someone described it as "weight without heft" and I thought that was very fair. Some body here for sure, but it's elevated - vibrant without being too acidic. Lovely stuff and I will look out for it again.

Tasted double blind. Beautiful nose - great fresh fruits - melon, berries, musky - perfumed - along with a steely acidity behind it. Nice palate - huge acidity, minerals juicy and delicious - fresh and alive. Nose - 5.5/6, palate - 5/6, finish - 5/6, Je ne sais quoi - 1-1.5/2 = 16.5-17/20.
