The color is almost that of a mature Chablis, a light and nervous green-golden, and the bouquet initially recalls those from the central Loire Valley with notes of fern, pepper seeds and honey mushroom. After a few minutes the aroma softens and shifts towards scents of rose and honey without losing any nuances. As always, the mouthfeel is very delicate, more flavorful than the younger wines, with no gap on the palate and a vegetal finish. This is perhaps more “1996” than “Soave” or “Calvarino”. An extraordinary wine from a complicated year that drew the profile of wines in an emblematic way.
Only found at auctions.
