Medium green-gold color. Aromas of peach, pear, almonds, and bitter melon. Flavors of pear, melon, and a distinctive nuttiness on the palate with a lemon-oil note on the medium-long finish. An interesting departure from the ordinary and what I look for in an off-center Italian white.

Lesser Italian White Varietals (Duchman Family Winery Driftwood, Texas): A light, low-acid wine which was enjoyable and interesting for tasters, with lots of peach and floral notes. Lightly oxidized and nutty in a good way, with a light copper color, tasters found peach jam, apricot, white peach, nectarine, green grape, light lemon, canteloupe, nectar, pear, and dried fruit flavors. Several commented on its low acidity among our many Italian bianchi. Did someone really write “gym toes,” then “under-ripe” crossed out into “over-ripe”? U betcha! Yum.
