To a start, the nose had some matchstick, yeasty and croissant-like notes backed by some yellow apple. It opened up and offered fresh citrus, lemon peel, apricot, wax, honey, dried ginger and roasted nuts. Some smokey, stony and oystershell notes.

The palate is medium-bodied, tight and with a crispy and sharp acidity, that rounded over some time making it perfectly balanced. Ripe red apple, dried pear, lemon and red grapefruit, pickled ginger, fennel and walnut. Long finish, quite salt and super mineral.

The Valdisole project began in 2015 with Giuseppe Amato and Kyriaki Kalimeri behind it. Since Giuseppe doesn’t originate from a family of winemakers, he decided to buy a vineyard, and so, it happened that the first vineyard, half a hectare of abandoned Nebbiolo, was bought on a website specialized in used second-hand things (yes!).

Kyriaki, originally from Greece, is an electronic and computer engineer who entered the wine world simply out of curiosity. She met Giuseppe during sommelier classes, and shortly after, the Valdisole became reality.

“Amos” (“Άμμος”, in Greek) means sand, referring to the terroir of this vineyard, bringing elegance and finesse to the young vines (20 years old).

Hand-harvested, spontaneously fermented in steel tanks and oak tonneau, followed by two years in old barrique and 6 months in the bottle.

Only 20 mg/L sulphur are added during bottling.

An intense in-your-face-bouquet; slightly reductive to a start, followed by a heavy scent of sweet cherry wine gums, sweet Finnish liquorice, extremely floral/perfumed notes (violets , lavender and rose petals), tar, white mushrooms and a touch of fresh forest floor. After an hour, more oxidative notes came through like brown leaves, truffle and clay pot. Still very fruity.

Medium(+)-bodied with high acidity and soft tannins. It’s very direct and fruit driven - well balanced between freshness and fruit sweetness with notes of ripe strawberry, hard raspberry candy, raw liquorice root and herbs. A bit salty finish.
