CHIROSO VITA 1 - COLOMBIA - WBC 2025 - COMPETITION LOTS

All I can say is wow! Yes, folks, why? Simple: this coffee embodies an idea that changed the coffee world—or, more precisely, brought two worlds together for the first time in coffee history. We’re talking about the world’s first experiment of its kind, in which our Italian champion Daniele Ricci, in collaboration with the Las Flores farm, devised and carried out a new processing method: adding wine yeast to the must made from our coffee cherries, specifically yeast from the famous Monterossa winery in the Franciacorta area.

If I could, I’d drink this kind of coffee for the rest of my life. Wondering why? If I had to describe sweetness to someone new to coffee, I’d have them taste this. The sweetness is absolutely incredible, almost illegal. If you don’t believe us, you’ll just have to try it. I’m convinced you’ll order it again.

It opens with an impactful note of acidity reminiscent of white grapes. It then develops into an impressive sweetness of ripe fruit, with a sensation of ripe papaya so pronounced that it can trick your mind into thinking you’re tasting a fruit extract. Even more evident when brewed as espresso. Medium-high body, excellent structure, and a decidedly juicy, syrupy mouthfeel. The minty finish is also surprising, leaving the mouth exceptionally clean and refreshed.

A true competition lot, with decidedly interesting and pronounced flavors that deliver a unique and different sensory experience—one to try and savor. I’m simply in love!

If I were to give myself a gift and truly experience this tasting journey, it would be extraordinary to compare Chiroso with this one, which we could call an upgrade. Chiroso Vita 1… BOOMMM!
