So Christoph has an Erbaluce. But it will be here this fall and in small amounts.
Must be nice having Christoph over for dinner!
Well not over for dinner. But over for a dinner.
Don’t forget Gavi/Cortese.
While I’ve yet to taste a mediocre Timorasso, I think a lion’s share of Gavi/Cortese is nothing but simple, fruity and somewhat neutral white that is best consumed within a year or two from the vintage. There might be an odd Gavi here or there that might make something serious, but as a grape variety (especially from the perspective of aging potential), Timorasso is on an another level if compared to Cortese.
I certainly haven’t. Pouring the Bricco Bartolomeo by the glass now.
As you might imagine, I am not talking about run-of-the-mill Gavi, but the good ones. And the good ones certainly can age. I’ve had aged classic method sparkling Gavi that was excellent, too.
