Punta Alice
2,6 ha · 48 m · East, facing the sea · 2012
Eight hundred metres from the shoreline. By late summer a film of salt sits on the leaves — and you taste it in the glass.

Punta Alice
Picked at five in the morning, because by eight it is already too late.
Tasting
Onion-skin colour — the real thing, not the postcard pink you get from two extra hours on the skins. Flat peach on the nose and a saline edge that comes straight off the sea, eight hundred metres away as the crow flies. Taut and dry in the mouth, and it finishes before you have finished thinking about it — which is exactly the point.
