    The 2021 Zibibbo in Pithos opens with an exotic array of tropical florals and citrus complicated by candied ginger and sweet smoke. It washes across the palate with a mineral-tinged blend of young peach and sour melon, all propelled by juicy acidity. The 2021 finishes remarkably fresh yet nuanced, with grapefruit and kiwi suggestions.
