white pepper and brambly underbrush

One tin of Omed Spanish olive oil

juicy through the mid-palate with a finishing grip of tannin

the imposing peak of Revello dominates the landscape and the glacial stream of the Po River runs out of the hills and carves out a small valley peppered with fruit orchards and the occasional vineyard

unadorned yet totally delicious Mencia without fanfare

Edi Simcic Goriska Brda Malvasija 2021 lado white pepper and brambly underbrush"The work of Aleks Simi, son of Edi and chief winemaker, is redefining what is possible and expected from Slovenia. Fermented in French oak, this spectacular Malvazija (bianca) is age worthy for a decade. A rich, oily palate offers up layer upon layer of apricots, wildflowers, toasted honeycomb, juniper berry, and mint."
