Blend of blend of 60% Carricante, 25% Catarratto, 10% Grecanico and 5% Minnella, aged in French oak for 10 months. Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits adding honeysuckle blossom. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot and lemon citrus with creamy vanilla wrapped in generous acidity, long finish ending with wet stone minerality. Nice!

Amazing at room temp with expressive notes of soft fruits yet great overtones

This might be one of the biggest values in dry white wine right now. This hits all the right spots. Delicious.
