Wow - this is Friulian-level in the best sense. Honey, overripe peaches, dried herbs, pencil shavings. High acidity, but largely thanks to very skilful use of VA that genuinely works as lift rather than flaw. And how beautifully balanced it all is. Great tannin - powerful but softened by fruit, lovely structure with a solid fruit core and concentration. A wine that's fun to drink despite all its seriousness.
About
Part of the "TOC Collection" - a one-off experimental edition by Cascina Tavijn. 100% Vermentino from a friend's organically farmed vineyard near Nadia's - the vines were pulled up last year, making this wine unrepeatable. Destemmed and fermented on the skins for one week (hence the orange colour), aged exclusively in fibreglass. 700 bottles produced. Based on Nadia's words.
