Calosso DOC
Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
A one-village DOC built around Gamba di Pernice ('partridge leg', for its red stems), a grape that survives on a few hectares. The wine is medium ruby with red currant, sour cherry, dried herbs and a pronounced pepper and bitter-almond edge, moderate tannin and high acid, and needs the mandatory aging to soften. Fewer than a dozen growers make it; Tenuta dei Fiori of Valter Bosticardo was the one who kept the grape going.

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.
If you make Calosso, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.
