Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with floral blossoms. On the palate flavors of ripe apple, apricot and lemon zest, crisp acidity, long finish ending with wet stone minerality. Can benefit from short-term aging, Nice!

What a winner! Fresh and lonely and such a clean mineral finish! Paired it with a beer, carrot and pomegranate salad, and also with shrimp and grits. Worked great with both.

Lemon curd, salinity, wet rock, hint of underripe peach. Crisp acidity, totally dry, Alcohol a little pronounced but only 12.5.

100% Carricante. Shocked to find this at Costco. Underripe yellow apple, lemon zest, lemon curd, defined by the minerality, smoky,salinity and decent acidity. Not as steely as Muscadet and Chablis but pairs well with lighter seafood dishes that pair with those two wine regions.

Sunday evening casual pour. No real notes. Flinty and lemony on the nose. Fresh, acid driven with almond and lemony notes all along. Fresh and minerally finish that goes on for a while. It's simple and fresh and everything I want to drink right now.
