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.
My Thoughts: Clear, watery color. Aroma of citrus and sweet fruits. Pear and apricot. Flavor is citrusy and light. Very dry, but balanced. Was pleasant to drink. Seems a little basic to me but defiantly a variety to look into further.
