  Though the Riesling was only 10% of this blend with Carricante, it was prominent on the nose and the slight waxiness provided a lovely balance and structure. Lemon, green apple, some salinity too. Super fresh and lovely! Wish I had more!

  Good wine for the money; nice minerality, bright acidity; great example of carricante grape but you can definitely taste the Riesling

  Nice yellow gold color. Aroma is initially dominated by the 10% of Riesling in the blend. On the palate strong thread of acidity keeps it fresh. A very pleasant drink.

  This expression of Carricante variety, is blended with a little complementary Riesling. It has an interesting bouquet of green apple, pear, thyme, rocks and salt.
  The palate is salty, but also lemony, and a little bit honeyed, creating a comforting balance that lasts through the medium finish.
