'Bora Lunga’

Spergola & Moscato Giallo, Emilia-Romagna, Italy

A balanced, bright and RARE as heck textured white from an honourable house. Cinque Campi is a family estate passed down from father to son in the Nizzoli family for more than 200 years. Today they focus on local grapes, organic viticulture and zero-zero expressions of their unique and carefully cared for terroir. ‘Bora Lunga’ is a tribute to local traditional blend and style of (skin-contact) white wines, made from citric, floral and verdant spergola (90%) and aromatic, spiced moscato giallo (10%) that were hand-harvested, destemmed, and kept in contact with their skins for 4-5 days to pull texture, aromatics and nuance. After 12 months in concrete tanks and six months in bottle, this stunner wants OUT! Erupting with apple pie and pineapple ice cream, tangerine pith, lemon juice, wet stones, aloe water & a silken handkerchief texture. Pour alongside baby clams in brine and this week’s New Yorker - you CAN finish it!
