La Saponaire

Charming, refreshing - the soapweed did its job beautifully as a palate cleanser throughout the evening. That familiar profile from the 2021: pear candy, citrus, white flowers, a stony-creamy texture, and the gin-and-pebbles finish that makes this wine quietly distinctive. Not here to compete with the Barolos - here to make sure you can still taste them. And it did exactly that.
