Voltumna – Pinot Nero – Toscane
Een per ongeluk wijn. Zie het verhaal hieronder.
A wine lost. A wine found. 12.15 is a SUM wine, meaning two very hot vintages of Silene joined together against anything that oenological common sense would have.The 2012 vintage carries with it the mistake of an ill-timed bottling and subsequent bottle refermentation, giving the “unpalatable reduction” effect. A pawing wild animal that we had to free by unbottling a thousand litres of wine … As for 2015 , we forgot it in the wooden barrels for too long – I mean, Silene in wood? – what, with our minds taken by the sadness for the frost in the vineyard, the fire in the olive groves and by the hundreds of otherproblems that 2017 bestowed upon us. Dare not to throw away, dare to make a statement, dare to discover and be surprised. The tale without veils – and face masks – of a lost wine and a found wine.
