Pop this when you want something that wakes your mouth up. Sol Negru is a dry white from Moldova that leads with zesty grapefruit and lime, then throws in a cheeky little lychee note so it's never harsh. Cold bottle, a Friday that needs rescuing, friends on the way over. It's the kind of white that makes the first sip feel like the night just got started.
Stick your nose in and you get blackcurrant and fresh berries, a whiff of cut herbs and that cool wet-stone smell, like rain on a pavement. The sip is where it really goes: bright grapefruit and lime up front, a soft hit of lychee, and a quick flash of cherry before it finishes clean and dry. Properly mouth-watering, zero sweetness, the sort of acidity that makes you want another sip straight away.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Asconi, a family-run winery in the village of Puhoi, in Moldova's Codru hills just south of the capital Chișinău. Sol Negru is their flagship range, and the name is Romanian for "black soil," a nod to the rich dark earth those vines grow in. Moldova has been making wine for thousands of years and barely gets talked about, which is exactly why bottles like this punch so far above their price.
