Aromas of peach, straw, and pineapple. Mostly peach on the palate with a touch of grapefruit. Medium finish. Simple, and a bit sweet In the finish. A crowd pleaser.

Light straw with subtle white flesh stone fruit aromas and waft of floral notes. On the palate flavors of peach and pineapple with some light spice, crisp acidity showing good balance. Medium finish ending with mineral notes. Tasting Sample.

Deliciously crisp, dry white wine. Can drink this high acid wine all day!!

I've been exploring more of the Italian varietals lately, and really diving into the Bacci family of wines. This Vermentino they make is just unique enough amungst it's kind that it stands out a hair more than the rest. A faint reminder of petrol from some German Riesling on the nose, followed by fresh white flowers, hay, and honeysuckle. The pallet is fairly flinty and minerally, with notes of ripe white pears, lemon zest, and a crisp acidity to the finish without being sharp. Instead, it is a wine that plays it's tune steadily at mezzo piano, with a sharp ring of a high note to the finish.

Big fruity nose, primarily pear. High acidity.

Less acidic, more 'buttery', low acid,
