Birichino Carignane Car Car Glou Glou Akashita 2025

This is Birichino's self described "Nouveauesque Carbonic Carignane" Montague Vineyard owned by the Shinn family and planted, circa 1930.  This wine ticks many of the Nouveau boxes: carbonic maceration; brilliant, deep purple color; gentle level of alcohol; in bottle the first couple weeks of November. However, it undeniably exhibits a more serious side and shows every intention of having the guts to stretch its legs for a couple years.
