SERBIAN SAVAGES

MAURER — Orion '22

Mézes fehér, 14 days on skins, under a veil of flor, sealed with beeswax. Wild honey, volcanic grit.

MAURER — Tamjanika '23

Wild. Herbal. Explosive. Burning sage and summer dust. Drink it before it bites back.

SAGMEISTER — LH Zero '23

Hárslevelű, skin contact, 18 months in big barrels. No sulfur, no filter, no bullshit.

BAŠA — Furmint '20

Amber, 11 days on skins, 2 years on lees in oak and acacia. A liquid time capsule. Decant it.

BIKICKI — Uncensored '22

A DJ's Traminer. 7 days on skins, a year in Serbian oak. Slow-burning, hypnotic. Drink it loud.

Hungary · Lake Balaton

BANGERS FROM THE BALATON

SZÁSZI — Furmint '21

Stone and citrus first, stone fruit underneath. A young wine with a long future.

GILVESY — Pixu Furmint '23

Apricot, quince, green apple, a whisper of petrol. Fresh, complex, layered.

GILVESY — Pixu Saba '22

Green-lemon and gooseberry, fresh-cut grass, a zip of lemon-lime peel.

KOLONIA — Bleu de Hongrie '23

Kékfrankos they're legally forbidden to call Kékfrankos. Volcanic, elegant.

PAP — Don't Tell Mama '23

Olaszrizling + kéknyelű, 10 days on skins, barrique. A secret worth keeping.

Italy · Venice & Verona

VANDALS

IL MORALIZZATORE — Groppero '23

100% Groppello, a few days on skins, used barrels so the grape does the talking. Breganze in a glass.

IL MORALIZZATORE — Vizeta '23

Vespaiola with a spark. Bottle-fermented, 18 months on lees. Fine bubbles that refuse to sit still.

FAEDESFA — Arrow '23

Cabernet off the marly slopes of Rovolon, 10 months in oak, zero sulfites. Back label just says vino rosso.

SAN DIONIGI — Dika Rosato '25

Single-grape Corvina rosé, wild-fermented in terracotta, 4 months in amphora. No poolside cliché.

GIOCAIA — Il Base '23

Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella off a single basalt hill. Valpolicella before the appassimento machine.
