Winery 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.

Personal Review:  Melon and pear scented white wine, like a less-sweet moscato. A litter bitter at the first taste, but is a very distinct nutty flavor. Reminded me of a buttery pecan or perhaps almond. Sweet and buttery, almost syrupy.
