Sipping Fine Wine

Born in the vineyards of the green hills of Umbria, wind-swept and caressed by the waters of Lake Corbara. A blend of mostly Grechetto & Procanico. Pale lemon color with aromas of tropical fruit and peach with a bit of wet stone. The palate shows offers flavors of apple and citrus, with nutty mineral notes oa a medium finish, balanced acidity. Refreshing.

Light straw yellow.Clear fresh note of starfruits, lemon, mint, celery, apple, yeast or white bread, with hint of melon and muscat. Sharp and crispy acid, clear bitterness, and mineral, not sweet, dry and vivid.

A lovely dry white that pairs well with shrimp and lobster.

Some wines do not aspire to greatness but can still deliver. Candied bitter lemon and orange over soft minerals
