Wine Shop Review: Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine Perfect also as an aperitif.
My Review: I tried this one on thursday at the cellar and then once again tonight at Zeppolis. The most prominent flavors I got on the nose were both apple and pear, which is a little cliché to say about a white but thats what I got. Definitely a really easy wine to drink, light color, light body. The nose seemed a bit thin, but a lot more fruit flavor came out on the mid-palate.
I tried a creamy smoked gouda with this, and it was really good, the apple flavors were much more apparent.
