Zidarich Vitovska Belo 2011

Beniamino Zidarich's 2011 Vitovska Belo opens with dried pear, toasted almond, white flowers and a faint gamey undercurrent, classic varietal territory handled with honesty. There's genuine immediacy here, the wine showing its character without artifice, though a few angular edges linger in the mid-palate. Pretty and unforced, with the kind of directness that defines Carso at its best.
