Cenatiempo
Kalimera Ischia Biancolella
Ischia, Napoli, Campania, Italy
Very intense white, with concentrated flavors and acidity. Mediterranean salt, minerals, citrus peel. From a tiny island off the coast of Napoli. Great stuff, but definitely a food wine (13% abv). With tonight’s dinner of Italian eggplant shakshouka and sweet potatoes in sesame tahini butter. Blue Raspberry Sour Patch Kids for dessert.
Update: had my last bottle with roasted butternut squash in couscous salad, and it was a little too harsh, even with food. Bumping my rating down a bit.
