Castellucci Miano
Shiarà Sicilia Catarratto
Sicily, Italy
Wonderfully deep, fruity, citrusy nose, with a bit of a floral/straw like note. Crisp and minerally in the mouth, with a bit of bitter lemon-lime in the finish. Nice acids. Would be dynamite with grilled seafood. Nice as an aperitif too.

Cepage traditionnel. Sec, tendu, sans gras excessif. Sable/argile/limon. Potentiel de garde. Altitude qui fait garder la fraîcheur.

Taking on lovely, nuanced secondary characteristics. Still lots of structure. Great stuff. I love when a 10 dollar wine makes you feel like you could have dropped 50 on it.

The nose on this is a bit richer than it’s downscale sibling, but boy is the palate dry!
Green fuzzy almond skin, white peach on the nose. Pears,
Sea water and mineral on the palate, lemon skin, extremely refreshing.
Curious to see it fill out as it warms.As it warms up, you do get some melon and fleshier dimensions.
One of the best blind deals of the year.
Thanks@Garagiste

N: ripe peaches and cantaloupe, ginger, vanilla
P: ripe and round up front, lemon and mineral notes kick in to balance out the richer fruit notes. Hint of lactic whey quality in the mix.

Lots of lemon and apple, but nothing interesting.
