Testalonga or “long face” is legendary Italian orange wine producer Perrinos nickname. Baby Bandito is Chenin from 46 year old vines in granite soil. Whole cluster, unfiltered. A beautiful gold colour with a delightful nose of baked pineapple, honeysuckle and marzipan. Perfectly balanced with a surprising palate of peaches, pomelo and honey. Deep minerality confirming the old vines. Paired with roasted chicken and vegetables. I really loved this wine.

Воздушные шарики, мокрая шерсть, манго, зелёная груша, ананас, железо, крупная соль. Среднетелое, чистое и достаточно комплексное, несмотря на базовый уровень, с хорошей структурой и кислотностью. Держится стройно в бокале. 17/20
