Oh shit I don’t even care too much what the grapes are (they are Mantonico, Guernaccia Bianca, Pecorelllo, Greco Bianco). Or where this is from (Calabria the arch and toe of the good ol’ boot of Italia). Or even year (2014).
What matters is you have some FUNK and GOLD dancing in your glass.
When you sip this your head should explode into the chorus from Groove is in the heart and you should start dancing. Deeeeeeee, deeelite! Anyone else?
Got this at originally at Covell.
2014 Chora Bianco IGP Calabria
It may not be for all. It is almost an orange wine. In terms of color.
Please excuse any grammar issues in this WSET style summation. I’m just gonna let it flow….
The eye: Deep clear gold. Medium slow tears.
Nose: Clean (yet oh so dirty meow), medium intensity, marmalade, meyer lemon, orange peel, developing.
Tongue: Dry, medium acid, medium alcohol ( crap it isn’t on the label?), medium body, medium plus intensity, flavors–fucking meyer lemon orange marmalade, funky (what is the tech term like soil)yeast (it is aged sur lies aka on the dead yeast), and a wee hint o lanolin
finish: medium plus it doesn’t evolve so much as you get a shadow of a taste that swells like a beautiful symphony. YAS
this sounds like a very interesting wine.
Love the notes. Cheers 🙂
Cheers! Yeah it is a very interesting wine, if you ever get a chance to try it go for it!
THAT really is one golden wine… And um, some other gold = YOUR EYE MAKE UP!
