Mirco Mariotti Maléstar 2020
Emilia-Romagna, ItalyMirco Mariotti makes natural wines in the Bosco Eliceo area in the eastern part of Emilia-Romagna. The vines grow 300 meters from the Adriatic Sea, and many are well over 100 years old. They are gnarly non-grafted vines with roots that dig as deep as two meters in the sandy soil and into the aquifer below. Mariotti’s wines are named after local card games the locals play. This is entirely the montú grape (aka Montuni), with time on skins, hence the golden hue. White peach, apricot, yellow plum, tangerine is livened with a gentle riff of skin contact, drawing this to a shorter, sour orange, warming flush finish — a gentle, easy, approachable orange.Tasted: 24 June 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $21.00 | 750ml | select private retailers |
