COS Zibibbo in Pithos 2021

Lush and textured wine with a warm, golden hue, supported by the sweet and floral whispers of orange blossom, apricot, and orange. The profile is outlined by a balanced equilibrium of tangerine, honey, peach, and mango, with a velvety and smooth texture. The conclusion is long and satisfying, with a light accent of sweetness. 100% Zibibbo, aged for 7 months in amphora, making it a truly outstanding wine. A perfect pairing for a variety of occasions, featuring cheese and cured meat, and even a crime show on TV.

Sophisticated and intriguing wine with a understated smokiness, a minerality that adds depth, and a salty undertone. As the notes unfold, a sweet and tropical note emerges, paired by the elegant note of papaya. The wine's pairing with the Japanese omakase lunch was a balanced match, with the gentle nuances of the dish seamlessly consistent by the wine's nuanced character.

The nose is a symphony of floral notes, with roses and sprong flowers adding a light touch, though sweet grapes provide a subtle depth. The tasting is recognized by low acidity and a light, bracing finish.
