A well made version of vermentino.

Nose is aromatic lemon extract. Very fresh and clean. Very Italian. Some richness as it opens.

Palate is nicely mineral and balanced. Light gods lemon soda. Very sprightly on the palate. A hint of lemon pith. Richer as it opens. Great acidic balance.

Something in new wants to try this in 7 years for some reason.

Would be awesome with crudo.

It’s one of those wines that is an incredibly great version of what it’s supposed to be.

Very old white wine. Golden hue. Smells a bit like golden delicious apples, Bartlett pear, honey and sweetened lemon. Flavors are hint oxidized, but still tart and bright. Plenty of citrus. Lots of tannin. This is adventurous and delicious white. Wonder what it was like closer to 2014. At this stage it’s a bit like my favorite kind of Chardonnay. Smooth and round, but zippy too. — 5 months ago

Great frizzante. Very light and bubbly with substance like kombucha. I was drink this at the pool. Enjoyed at GroSperi in CPH. — 2 years ago

Non so perché mi esca Red Blend.. in realtà è una Malvasia di Candia Aromatica in purezza.. molto profumata, secca decisa, l'ho apprezzata particolarmente con frutti di mare. — 6 years ago
