Vodopivec
Origine Vitovska
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
Mid Gold in colour. Skinnsy aromas unsurprisingly - notes of pear. My first experience with the indigenous varietal, Vitovska that shares similar characteristics with Ribolla Gialla. Paolo Vodopivec is often associated with the natural wine movement but Paolo does not like the tag just because of his use of underground amphorae and skin contact. However, this wine is conventionally made and spends 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks while the “classic “ is made in amphorae on skins. A highly individual and unique wine of profound intensity which pushes the boundaries. The following night notes of pineapple juice.
