  Pizza wine! But not in the sense that this is meant to be drank with a pizza. No, this actually smells and tastes like a pizza. Anyway, Marea is a a benchmark for Cinque Terre and I am going to make it a point to try it every vintage.
  
  Fresh baked bread, cooked pasta, sea spray, salt, dried oregano, dried thyme, tomato leaf, garlic powder, fennel seed, under ripe white nectarine and lemon zest on the nose. Smells crunchy. Also reminds me of "Italian seasoning" as we know it on the east coast of the US". High intensity of aromas. The palate is similarily fruit backward. It starts with the herbs and adds a note of chopped tomato. Mid palate it shows the lemon but also adds lime. It finishes with yeast and lees flavors. Intensity of flavors is just as high as the aromas. Honestly, it kind of tastes like a pizza.
  
  Medium + body with ripping medium + acid. 2021 lives up to the previous great vintages.

  Fresh and clean lemony color alludes to the racy acidity found on first sip. Zippy citrus with a backbone of marl adds depth to the finish. Some slight green vegetal qualities.
  Used a glass or so to help prepare shrimp scampi.
  Shrimp is in season, and so is Cinque Terre.

  Russk. KLK gave to me. Lean, saline and mineral. I think some Bosco and vermentino. Would drink again.
