MORE Tasting Notes:
THIS WINE TASTES INSANE! INSAAAAANNE!!!! Smells like an old Riesling with it's petrol notes, but on the palate we found incredible notes of orange blossom, marzipan, unripe peach and cream. Utterly delicious!
-------------------------------------------
Fattoria al Fiore's Neco series (meaning cat, as well as being short for New Experiments and Cooperation) capture a variety of traditional hybrid and table grapes grown by farming friends. The wines are approachable and easy-drinking.
“Genchi” is a quaffable and contemplative orange wine made from a blend of Niagara fermented by maceration carbonique and Japanese hybrid Neo Muscat fermented on amphorae. A small part Rosario Bianco, also a Japanese hybrid, is added before blending.
It is juicy and refreshing with notes of nachi pears and peach ice tea, with super-fine tannins.
No added sulphites.
