Tasting Notes: Limpid, light ruby red colour, with the presence of small sediments due to the absence of filtration. Fairly consistent in the glass, with discreet softness. The nose is pretty intense and with a pleasing complexity. Aromas of cherry schnapps, acetone, poison ivy, earth, white pepper and slightly tobacco. In the mouth it is moderately dry, with a nice alcoholic note and fresh tannins.

Tasting Notes: Baptiste Cousin's "Ouech' Cousin" is a real treat. With a Grolleau in carbonic maceration, one can expect something a little too "light"... Here, of course, one finds that suppleness, crisp red fruit and the freshness typical of this grape variety, but the mouth remains silky, delicate and ripe, proof of a healthy harvest harvested at maturity. The Domaine Batossay still offers a wine of disconcerting ease but which does not lack depth.

Tasting Notes: 1 L Bottle. "Tutti i Giorni" Rosso by Antonio Camillo is the daily wine that one would always like to have on the table. A bottle with a generous drink that puts cheerfulness and good humor from the first sip and that finds its ideal location in a convivial and fun environment. A label made of simplicity and passion, which tells the story of the unspoiled nature of the wild Tuscan Maremma through its native grape varieties, ennobled by the hand of an expert winemaker.

Funkyness: Mild

Tasting Notes: It smells intensely of dark cherries, underbrush, bay leaf and allspice. On the palate, it presents an intriguing grip as well as a pleasing acidity, thanks to the partially macerated raps. The body is powerful, though not as overloaded as neighboring Baden vintners. You should give the Pinot Noir Liaison some time in the decanter to give it some air and let it show its full beauty.
