Naples is where it's at.

And 3 Caravaggios too. And a stupid beautiful bay. Oh, and the tomatoes in the sauce really do taste better. Even in March.

Tasted new, but I neglected to check the fine print. This wine is always so much more vibrant in IT than when I get it in the States. I guess the extra-fragility that comes with no added SO2.
Beautiful last night in any event. And with awesome food at a resto called "Veritas". I highly recommend it.

And yes Chris FTW. I don't know why that pic loaded upside down. Easy enough to fix when viewing on my phone. Harder, I imagine on a desktop.
 
After the Violaine, had a great Piedirosso 2015 Campi Flegrei from La Sibilla. 12.5% abv. Ungrafted. Fantastic freshness and depth, but also an core flavor of iron (not unlike Teran, but not as tannnic). 20 euros on Veritas's wine list.

Brother McCrum knows more and shares: http://omwines.com/la-sibilla/

Amazing given how vibrant it is in the US. Possibly my favorite no-dosage Champagne.
