Nue Wilde 2019 Ribolla Gialla

Busalacchi Vineyard/Lodi  This did see a couple of days on its skins, but this is far from an orange wine. The nose shows a hit of orange peel with some spice, and an apricot note as well. The palate has some presence to it with apricot and orange peel up front with some honeyed peach and a fun mix of spice and minerals to finish.  D&M Tasting Notes

Ben Herod formerly of Oro en Paz, is the owner and winemaker of Nue Wilde, a new label from this esteemed veteran wine professional. He sources from organic vineyards and his approach is minimalistic which allows his wines to give the drinker a sense of place from where the grapes come from.
