Unfortunately, I didn't like this one nearly as much as the Talamonti Trabocchetto Pecorino the other night. A blend of Friulano, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. The nose is dominated by the Sauvignon Blanc in this wine, and the palate is dominated by the Friulano. In sum total, this wine is a bit of a Frankenstein in my opinion. Slightly bitter on the mid-palate, and overly floral, reminiscent of a muscat ice wine profile on the finish. Just an odd duck kind of wine. Definitely drinkable and at $15 a decent value since it's still real wine, but it's not as good as other stuff one can buy for just a few bucks more. This one's a pass.
