Color:

Bright amber.

Nose:

The 2016 Zibibbo in Pithos shows itself as an intense elixir of a white wine, this is already noticeable in the nose. Fresh vineyard peach mingles with apple jelly, stewed quince, white fragrant flowers such as yarrow, lime blossom and broom and the infusion of verveine tea. Distinct notes of sage and ethereal hints of eucalyptus further enhance its complex appearance.

Palate:

Spicy and stimulating, the 2016 Zibibbo presents itself in Pithos on the tongue, the fresh herbal notes of the nose appear here even more strongly. You get the impression to bite on a ripe peach, fine fruit sweetness is accompanied by delicate tart influences. This interplay makes it a wonderfully exotic and at the same time meditative drop.
