Anyone know what fruit this wine is made from? I taste modest zesty and slight effervescence. No oak. No residual sugar. Nothing floral. Incredibly unremarkable in my opinion.

For the money this was 👌🏻. Lemon freshness, almond skin, perfect with fried lemon linguine, where you got some deeper stone fruit notes.

This wine is made to be drank with appetizers and/or main course. By itself I feel it doesn’t do justice ... it needs a touch of something else to bring out the highlights. Small producer from Piedmont. “Lorenzo Picollo founded the winery in 1945. Today, Lorenzo's son Ernesto takes care of the winemaking, and Ernesto's son Gianlorenzo manages the vineyards”.

2015 will be considered a classic vintage. This is a steal at this price point.
