Domaine Bornard Savagnin Amphore Mammouth Italien 2016
$188.00
'Savagnin from Arbois-Pupillin which was macerated and fermented for several months (until the April of the following year) in an Italian amphora until Tony decided that the maceration was sufficient to create an interesting wine.
He then removed everything from the Italian amphora and gave it a light pressing to extract the juice which was then returned to the amphora for its aging.
It is noticeably unfiltered and absolutely delicious, especially with any umami-compatible food.
This is a great example showing how Savagnin can be macerated but still retain its characteristic aromas and flavours. It is breathtaking in its complexity.
The alcohol content is a very acceptable 12.2%.'
