Medium golden yellow. Slightly floral nose with melon, pear, nutmeg, cumin, and anise. Rich, medium-full bodied palate of pear, honeydew, and tropical citrus with a hint of nuttiness and spice. Great acidity. Dry, tasty finish. Reminiscent of a white Rhone, but with more acid. Great food wine. Drink now - 2012.

Retail tasting. Apple, pear, green melon, and earthy spices. Medium-full bodied and dry on the palate with moderate-plus acidity. Will be better with food.

Straw coloured; apples & pears, lightly spiced; soft/expansive texture, flavoursome & characterful, acidity gives a lively feel to the finish which is long & attractive.

Opened as an aperitif and thought it was very similar to the Falanghina. Nice fresh taste
