San Fereolo Langhe 'Coste di Riavolo' Bianco 2006

RIESLING(70)/GEWURZ(30), Piemonte,IT

On the skins,,,, aged in oak, grippy. Honey and green straw nose, golden orange color, palate like crunching on green peppercorns, raw cardamom pods, eucalyptus, grapefruit pith. I love bitter but this one really takes the cake, riesling nose, but palate like juniper berries and the tiny tin cans of sour grapefruit juice my grandfather used to love for breakfast.

Confirming my suspicions: "ANGRY GREEN TANNINS"

San Fereolo Coste di Riavolo Vino da Tavolo Bianco :"a blend of Gewurztraminer and Riesling Renano, and is a deep brassy gold with brilliant reflections. The bouquet is powerful and frankly medicinal with mint and eucalyptus mingled with honey. Quite charged and quite particular. On the palate it's quite dry -- unexpected this is -- with bright almost brambly minerality supported by considerable warmth and some citric accents, and flows into a long warm mentholated finish with savory overtones. It was a great surprise, and is a wine some will love and others abhor."
