@delectable, this is not a red blend. This is the extra moenia Bianco antico. It’s skin contact Malvasia. Lots of lemon oil right away. It’s rustically tannic. Some saline savoriness, oil cured olives, some blue cheese or cured cheese rind. Opens onto creamsicle and apple. One of the best “orange” wines for my money.
