About
this Six-Pack:
Some wines are easy to identify. Recognition is immediate
as they deliver a textbook performance—one that provides
a varietally correct interpretation of their origin. Wine
descriptors rarely deviate from characteristics associated
with either grape or terroir.
Then there are those wines that you can’t quite
wrap your palate—or your mind, for that matter—around.
You find yourself at a loss for descriptors—there
are no reference points to draw upon, and the complex layers
and somewhat wild persona seem to demand a new vocabulary.
It is in such wines that the individual winemaker is most
present: The techniques utilized are ancient and require
painstaking attention to detail and exquisite care. Consider
Contini’s Vernaccia di Oristano, which is crafted through
the Solera method, or Damijan’s Kaplja, a wine bottled
as the moon wanes. Valentini virtually transforms the neutral
Trebbiano, eliciting an expression rooted in personal conviction
and artistic sensibility. And Gravner and Radikon? This wine
sampler includes radicals that create whites that keep all
of us in a constant search for meaning…. |
