The black sheep of the evening. Inky and viscous. But it sailed well (you see, despite the fact that sheep is not a ship). Lots of mulberry, dark berries jam, medicinal herbs, and liquorice syrup. Medium-bodied, round and well-balanced with nice acidity and tannin. It's the youngest brother of Kurni, the non-sweet and liquid version of mulberry jam mixed with cough syrup.
Wine #5 on Grapes of Piedmont event.
Valli Unite
Valli Unite is a natural wine cooperative. Being created in the 70s, it's, in fact, one of the first in the country (accent on 'natural'). Today they have 30 people on board. It's quite an unorthodox community living and managing this multifunctioning farm of 100 ha, 20 of which are dedicated to vines.
