Description
Take out the tablecloth, some chorizo cream or a ceviche as tapas, and a bottle of Piknik from Château Castigno to bring to the whole a moment of simple, joyful and convivial pleasure. The wine first shines by its remarkable aromatic generosity. White and yellow fruits (peach, nectarine, apricot), a hint of citrus and some particularly elegant floral notes. The mouth, fleshy and salivating, aligns with this joyful tone with a nice saline tension and beautiful bitters on the finish.
