You know... I tell everyone all the time how distinctive Quinterelli wines are... Unmistakable! Yeah.. That's for the reds. His reds are supermodels (with all of their psychological problems) the bianco is kind of girl next door attractive? Serve kinda warm... Acidity comes out with time on the table.

Kermit Lynch has long been a favorite producer of mine, and this refreshing white from the Veneto is an affable blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Sauvingon Bianco, Chardonnay and Saorin. Post fermentation, this wine sees regular battonage, a technique of stirring the lees, which adds richness and texture. On the nose, ripe pear, white flowers, anise and minerally overtones. Medium-bodied, yet nimble at 12.5% ABV, with notes of wet stone, lemon zest and chalk on a medium-plus finish.
