Damien Guadagnolo handles his fruit with extreme care, opting for a traditional semi-carbonic maceration with whole bunches inside neutral concrete vats to coax out pure fruit aromatics without extracting harsh seed bitters. The 2022 vintage delivered exceptional sunshine and concentration, but Guadagnolo managed the fermentation gently to keep the alcohol in check. Bottled after a short, restful winter resting on its fine lees in old wood barrels, this wine is a masterfully unadorned, raw snapshot of granitic Gamay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it shows a bright, translucent purple color with brilliant magenta edges. The aromatics jump out immediately, flashing wild blackberry, damp violet petals, cracked black pepper, and a subtle hint of potting soil. On the palate, a crunch of wild blueberry and tart cranberry fruit is cradled by a fine, \"crystalline\" grip of chalky tannins. There is a beautiful, vertical line of energetic acidity that carries the mid-palate, preventing the ripe 2022 fruit from feeling bogged down. The finish is incredibly clean, leaving behind a mouthwatering trail of crushed granite, graphite, and wild thyme.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Damien Guadagnolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49838605664496,"sku":"CHECK","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/Comingsoon.png?v=1768455940","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/damien-guadagnolo-gamay-2022","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
