Very typical N Italy white, but this one with a little seaside tang. The nose reminded me of an Arneis, but the mouth is different with lovely stone fruit, great acid, and almondy notes. Great on a warm Monday night with seafood risotto.

Certainly delightful, but it only aspires to be nothing more than a nice pic nic wine. Of course I have had some memorable picnics in my life (especially in Italy!) so don't necessarily read that last comment as bad ;-)
Bouquet of cut dried grass and fresh flowers, almost savory impact with underlying minerality. Smooth & balanced. Nice bright finish but short. Very short. Too short. That's why its a picnic wine!
I just figured it out. The finish goes sideways when you swallow, instead of down your throat. That's why the "short" finish.

The nose showed floral notes, peach preserves and hints of vanilla. On the palate it was smooth, with balanced acidity and flavors of lemon pith, peach and spice with a bitter note on the finish.

Sometimes on a Friday night it not so much deciding what to drink as it is how much to drink (especially if its been "one of those weeks!").
Nice, crisp apples, citrus with enough mouth feel to hold up to a variety of food over the course of the meal. The bottle didn't last long.....
