Italian Wine Scholar Class at the Texas Wine School. Another fine showing for a consistently good bottling from a fine producer. Made with 100% Trebbiano di Lugana. Clear, medium lemon. The nose is clean, medium in intensity, with green apple, unripe white peach, lemon peel, white flowers, fennel and vanilla. The palate is dry, crisp, but quite generous, with riper and richer fruit than the nose. Medium to medium (+) acid and medium alcohol (13%). The palate is smooth and rounded, with medium (+) flavor intensity and a medium (+) long, pleasantly bitter finish. There is a nice balance between the suppleness of the wine and the crispness and minerality of the finish. Drink now through 2020. This is a great alternative to a Pinot Grigio at $16.00.

Citrusy, bright, and pleasant, but not remarkable.

Balanced, fresh, easygoing and unremarkable like many Italian whites.
