TASTING NOTE: 

This is a fresh, lively and refreshing bottling from old vines, which often offer deep complexity on a lighter frame. Aromas of rose petals, hibiscus, cranberry and wet cement lead into a palate full of crisp red currant, tangy strawberry, and a stunningly rocky minerality. Serve slightly chilled.

This wine is made from 130-year-old, head-trained, non-irrigated, organically farmed vines. It shows intense concentration, dark purple fruits, and dimension resulting from native yeast and varied soil types. After it is picked, the fruit is saignéed for Birichino’s vin gris, making the juice that remains for this wine even more intense.
