Almond and sweet peach flavors characterize this Tuscan white, as does a slight prickle of CO2. This has good sap and a slightly creamy body — its presence at midpalate is admirable — and it finishes with hints of honey, lemon, and cleansing, salt-inflected minerals. Nice!

light straw colored. a really unique nose of almonds, hay and lemon. medium bodied with medium acid and lovely honey, lemons and white peach flavors. solid finish, solid wine.

Light straw in color. A little spritz on the palate. Very citrusy on the nose. Mostly lemon zest on the palate, a hint of grapefuit. Very crisp, very nice.

It did charm me also as it did another one here at CT.
Nice lemonish and also oily.
Worth waiting for.
