Producers
Passolento is aged in large wood casks rather than stainless steel and released a year later than Capovolto. This white Burgundy style of Verdicchio features full malolactic fermentation and is bottled unfiltered. Layers of ripe peaches seduce the senses, while the wine’s sublime texture and balance show off the technique and prowess of this producer.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:
1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
