Clos Canarelli : Amphora 2023

Brilliant golden hue, with great intensity. The aromas are marked by lees reduction; the absence of sulfites gives full freedom to the bouquet, leading towards syrup‑poached pear. On the palate, it delivers a silky, sensual, controlled composition, surprisingly pure and reassuring. A wine to pair with Mediterranean grilled fish. Not necessarily a long‑aging wine, but a wine of pleasure; for lovers of wines without SO2, it will rank among the greats. From granitic plots, 100% vermentinu, vinified without additives, thus without added sulfur, in clay amphora.

This is a wine that practically crackles with energy. Aromas of cooked lemon, sea spray and saline minerality leap from the glass, while the palate is driven by acidity and extraordinary freshness. Vermentino's natural citrus flavours and herby florals give lift, while amphora ageing brings texture and depth without muting the fruit purity. Powerful and distinctive, a wine to return to as it opens up across a few hours. One that will age well into medium term too. A fine wine by all definition.
