  Italian Wine Scholar Class at the Texas Wine School. A blend of 50% Malvasia and 50% Trebbiano Toscano. Clear, pale straw with some green hues. The nose is clean, with yellow apple, ripe lemon, white flower and a hint of petrol which has developed in the last year. No oak. Dry, with some sweet fruit in the fore palate complicated by a slightly bitter finish. Med acidity and med alcohol (13%). A nicely balanced wine at a very good price point, it is showing remarkably well at 3 years. Drink now, not intended for aging.

  Tropical, off dry and a bit out of balance for my taste. Nonetheless, it improves a bit with air. May appeal to some.

  Italian Wine Scholar Class at the Texas Wine School. Clear, pale straw with some green hues. The nose is clean, with yellow apple, ripe lemon, heather and a little smoke. No oak. The palate is dry, but with some sweet fruit evolving into a slightly bitter finish. The acidity is medium to medium (+) and the alcohol is medium at 13%. A nicely balanced little wine at a very good price point. Drink now, not intended for aging.
