95 Points Vinous, Antonio Galloni

Highlight:

This wine is coy in the glass, mixing nuances of blood orange, mocha, rosemary and dried strawberries. It opens with a balanced inner sweetness and juicy textures as a cascade of ripe wildberries and autumnal spices flows across the palate. This finishes on a note of refinement, leaving a web of fine-grained tannins and hints of citrusy spice that linger for up to a minute.

Description

The label indicates the link of Kairos to the Harlequin project: as Harlequin’s costume is a colourful patchwork so the wine is composed of
15 different grapes, each with its own characteristics. In ancient Greek, Kairos means “the right moment, convenient, the time has come”.
The representation of the sundial and the clock express the idea of exact time.
Minimum 15 grape, 4 white varietals and 11 red grapes: Garganega, Trebbiano toscano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, Teroldego, Croatina, Oseleta, Sangiovese and Marzemino.
