Tasting Notes: The naturally low-acidity of Aspro Potamisi might trouble those used to sharper, chiseled whites from Greece, from varieties like Assyrtiko for example. Yet these very ripe grapes produced an original wine of smooth exotic aromas, the iodine finish and the puzzling bitterness adding complexity and contributing to create an "umami" wine, a characteristic emphasized by what could be perceived as a real "memory of sugar", an impression of native sweetness conveyed by the sun-roasted, rich old-vine Potamisi whose sugars were nonetheless almost totally reduced by its indigenous yeasts.

Tasting Notes: In the glass, it wows us with a deep, bright amber color, which is mainly due to the Pinot Noir extract. The consistency is dense. The nose is intense, reminiscent of dried fruit, where apple slices, dried apricots, quince, pineapple slices and papaya stand out. Candied citrus starts to open up with time; orange peel, lemon and then red grapefruit. Thyme introduces dried Mediterranean herbs, with wild mint and sage. Hay blends nicely with aromas of dried yellow flowers and black tea. Pine resin and graphite in between. Overall, well emphasized with caramel wood aromas, star anise, vanilla and licorice.

Tasting Notes: Bagardo” is a red wine made from Nebbiolo grapes; it is the result of meticulous processing and an excellent vintage. It is the clearest expression of the way the wine makers think quality wine should be made, with no added sulphites and we could not agree more. The expression is absolutely beautiful especially in 2018, it is very elegant and precise. The combination of steel and wood tank in aging process, gives to this wine fresh and fruity sensations. The grapes after harvest macerate for about 20 days. Affinage takes place in old wood barrels and stainless steel for 10 months and then an additional 4 months in bottle before release. This is a really special wine.
