Feb. 27
I was invited to a private wine tasting dinner at Domenia D’oro in Minami-Aoyama.
The theme today was “Damijan Podversic”, which is a natural wine producer in Friuli Italy.
I didn’t know the winery.
On inquiry, I found it was one of the followers of Josuko Gravner, a popular natural wine producer in Friuli.
Wine List

Damijan Bianco Kaplia 2009
Damijan Bianco Kaplia 2006
Damian Malvasia 2010
Damian Nekaj 2010
Damian Ribolla Gialla 2010
Before the tasting, I was wondering if it was drinkable especially vintage 2006 because they were “No Sulfur” wines.
However, I was surprised that all of them were drinkable, very tasty!
The color of 2006 was dark.
The taste was like a very fine Marsala or Sherry without some strong taste.
All of vintage 2010 bottles has gold color, rich fruits, dark honey, good acidity and long after.
I didn’t feel any alcoholic nuance even they had 15% alcohol.
Tasty!
Especially, Ribolla Gialla was the best wine for me.
I was wrong.
They were wonderful natural wine.
All of dishes were also very nice!
I was educated a lot.
I was impressed in a potential of natural wine in Friuli.
Thank you very much for inviting tonight such a fine wine party.
