Coffee to start the day. We decided to do the touristy thing and stop at Florian:
Good lunch at Osteria da Bubi with a couple of glasses of Marjan Simčič Sauvignon Blanc. Lovely.
We had dinner at the apartment to put the kids in bed earlier tonight. I stopped by a small wine shop here in Venice and the owner recommended this:
Mauro Drôné 2021
Nebbiolo di Dronero with other local cépages. Long macerations and then 1 year in barrel. Raspberry, roses and dried herbs on the nose. Powdery tanins with soft grip, relatively smooth palate with medium acidity kicking in on the mid-palate but the alcohol sticks out slightly. Decent finish on raspberry liqueur. It doesn’t feel integrated. The alcohol bothers me and the acidity is also sticking out. Disjointed. Not a rebuy for me.
