A: The bright body sports a lemon-gold core with prominent, deep, golden hues.
S: A medium intensity exudes bruised apple and white floral notes along a citric spine.
P: Dry/off-dry with confident acidity that balances a medium body. The flavour profile presents itself less forcefully than the mouthwatering acidity, yet citrus notes of lemon and lime, green apple, and grapefruit band together in a respectable display. Floral notes also reach the palate as elderflower and jasmine jive with a slight herbaceous lemongrass freshness, an intriguing hint of clove spice, and a clean wet stone minerality.
O: All-in-all this wine offers good value, and will happily accompany fresh fish dishes ranging from shellfish to sushi or even a zingy ceviche.

Nose like a French baguette's yeastiness, some floral sweetness, which follows on palate. Slight bitter finish, quite nice nonetheless. Strange laundry detergent nose at times. Quite clipped on finish with an acid note.

Very typical. Bone dry, big acid, citrus and wild flowers. One dimensional, but that's all it needs. With robiola... superb!

Rather like a good mid-level white burgundy, but a bit lighter, and with a distinctly Italian sharp acidity.

Loved this wine. Lemon verbena nose, and great concentration without sacrificing acidity. 12.5% abv, I could drink a lot of this.
