Lots of perfume in the nose. Good mouthfeel although a little the thin in the middle.

Quite good Sicilian white. Citrus, minerals, acidic, a little ashy. Used it to make stewed Cannellini beans and kale with smoked paprika. Nice combo.

Decent, with subtle floral notes, a soft mouth feel and a low-grade sweet-funky finish like lychee. Not my favorite white, but certainly not bad.
