Marmalade and apricot, soft nose needs time to open? Palette is a different story. This wine is a lurking beast. Strong full rich entry, maintains its muscle midway through before the powerful acid structure whacks me upside the head and sits like a bomb on the tip of my tongue. Concentrated, beautiful tension.

Interesting blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc from Italy. Lemon and honey on the nose. Oak comes through but not overly oaky.

California style white from northeast Italy--too pricey and comically heavy. Aperitif but still chuggable.

Fruity, but with a bit of a dry finish.

Buttery like Chardonnay, yet crisper. A great accompaniment to soft-shell crabs
