Munjebel Terre Siciliane Bianco Carricante Blend
Sicily, Italy
Notes of hay and yellow fruit pastry and tempura surprisingly open up over a surprising lack of pure fruit on the nose at first, though it opened up with some warmth and time. Starts with a palate of fresh cut grass, then evolves with notes of pear and a dry, heavy minerality. A medium body, and a lingering finish of something I can’t quite identify. Comes across almost as a Chenin. Very complex, very different, and very interesting, in a good way though.

Natty, saline, food friendly. Find a shellfish pasta or cacio e pepe.

2018. Popped and poured to have with Indian spiced chicken breast/fragrant basmati rice. The initial aromas reminded me of Jura/pale sherry and it paired great. After dinner, the wine opened up and gained viscosity and I wish I had more!
