Ithaa Tenuta La Ghiaia 2011 750ml
“The golden yellow color and the thick clarity prelude to a wine of unusual cut. To the nose it opens with light reductive notes that are the prologue, after a few minutes of oxygen in a large glass, to an explosion of citrus and floral notes (bergamot, grapefruit, orange blossom) emerging from an iodized substrate. Embossing large rotations to the glass, mineral notes alternate to herb (thyme and rosemary) are exalted, to introduce us to the hot sensations of grapes in alcohol, clinging to sandalwood. The palate entry is sweet and warm, with hints of white peach pulp, apricot and sandalwood that evolve into elegant mineral notes, opening to the Vermentino typical bitter.”
