  Lemon zest, green apple, herbs, and minerals on the nose. Complex palate with high acidity and lemon notes. Long finish. Fantastic value!

  From a small producer in the hills above the Amalfi Coast comes this exquisite blend of white varietals indigenous to the Campania. Aliseo, which translates as "the wind that brings fair weather," is 50% Biancolella, 40% Biancazita and 10% Pepella. The vines, between 70 and 120 years old, produce very low yields. To let the fruit express itself, the wine is made in a non-interventionist manner and fermented and aged in stainless steel. Inviting, pale sunlight, this medium-bodied blend infuses aromas and flavors of white flowers, melons, lemon zest, herbs and wet stones. Exceptional balance of acids and fruits. Clean and refreshing, the lengthy finish begs another glass. Although early in the year, this may be my Italian white wine discovery of 2014. 13% abv. QPR. 200 cases.
