Flagship white by the amazing Pilar Higuero, one of Spain’s most exciting proponents of biodynamic farming and the unofficial “lideresa” (leader) of the Spanish vignerons association “Artisan Wine Attraction.” The wine is named after the traditional children’s game “a pita cega” (“blindman’s buff” in English, literally “the blind hen” in Galician language) and the tools used to clean up vineyards in this spectacular biodynamic farm: a flock of chicken (Her red wine labels, on the other hand, feature the sheep used to graze and fertilize soils). Blend of mostly Albariño, Treixadura and other indigenous varieties, fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and aged on its lees for 20 months. Very expressive, complex nose with aromas of apples, white fruit, fennel, floral notes and minerals. Medium to full bodied, round, sumptuous on the palate. Lively, fresh, vibrant, good acidity.

Second take of this umbria light red a few months after. And I still love it. The nose is showing strawberry and raspberry, a bit of gun powder, a bit of flowery thing. It's actually more complex than I remembered. The palate is acid-driven, with nice raspberry and wild strawberry touches all along, a big nice width, a good nice mouthfeel that becomes tannic in the rear, changing completely the mouthfeel and powering a surprisingly big and complex finish for such a light-coloured red wine. It's fresh, textural, drying with caressing tannins, fruity and there is almost a tiny salty note in the rear. Perfect summer quaffable, chillable red Italian red. — 6 days ago
