Autochthonous is born 2023 organised by Go Wine at the Hotel Melià in Milan was, as always, a highly interesting event to find some tidbits and get some confirmation. After sharing with you my tasting notes of the wines of Emilio BulfonI present the other 7 wines that I liked best. The wines are presented in order of tasting.
Autoctono si nasce 2023 #1: Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2009 - Le Strie ❤️❤️
I thought I would start my tastings with a producer from Valtellina that I did not know, mindful of my wonderful experience in Livigno.
It has a beautiful, bright garnet red colour and is transparent. The nose is distinctive, delicate, fine and elegant. In the mouth it is striking, consistent, structured and savoury, with a long, bitter finish.
Autoctono si nasce 2023 #2: Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG 2015 - Le Strie ❤️
It is a beautiful, transparent garnet red, consistent. The nose is delicate and elegant with clearly recognisable notes of ink, roasted coffee, rhubarb and liquorice. In the mouth it is consistent, soft, very fresh and very balanced. It has many years ahead of it in which it can only improve.
Autoctono si nasce 2023 #3: 'Anima d'annata', Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG 2019 - Cantina La Masera ❤️+
It is bright straw yellow, consistent. The nose is very good, elegant, fine and characteristic with notes of chamomile, honey, sage and a citrine finish. In the mouth it is soft, very fresh, very savoury, structured and long.

Autoctono si nasce 2023 #4: "Macaria", Erbaluce di Caluso DOCG 2019 - Cantina La Masera ❤️
Same as the previous wine, but with an ageing in wood that makes it fatter, opulent, with notes of vanilla, white peach, candied orange peel with white chocolate. In the mouth it is very soft, elegant and structured.
Autoctono si nasce 2023 #5: 'Moar', Santa Maddalena Alto Adige DOC 2021 - Kellerei Bozen ❤️
It is bright ruby red and transparent. The nose is delicate, not particularly complex and pleasantly spicy. In the mouth it is fresh, soft, consistent, fairly structured and very drinkable. A 'snack' wine of which one goblet pulls the other.

Autoctono si nasce 2023 #6: 'Taber', Lagrain Riserva Alto Adige DOC 2020 - Kellerei Bozen ❤️❤️+
It presents itself impenetrable and concentrated ruby red. On the nose Lots of fruit, lots of spices, an infinite pleasantness despite the important tannin. Soft, but also very tannic, fresh and structured. Despite being young, it does not err on the side of youth. Here are the tasting notes of all the Lagrain from the Bozen Winery.
Autoctono si nasce 2023 #7: 'Fiorduva', Amalfi Coast DOC 2020 - Marisa Cuomo ❤️+ (it would deserve an extra heart, but I'm a bit put off by the price)
It is bright golden yellow, consistent. The nose is very intense and elegant, with notes of apricot, dates, candied citron and acacia flowers that fade into citrine and mineral accents. In the mouth it is consistent, soft, pleasant, elegant and structured. Long finish of candied citron.
This first Autoctono si nasce 2023 also ended with excellent tastings and I hope I have inspired some good tasting.
Cheers 🍷
