Review:

Notes of apple, melon, and citrus fruit mingle with hints of honey and white-blossoms. A sip reveals flavors of green apple and honeydew that are rounded out by suggestions of honey and orange blossoms. Not bone dry and crisp like so many Italian Pinot Grigos, this wine has a rounder mouthfeel and more lush fruit. It’s for fans of softer, approachable whites.

Rating: 88

Character: lush fruit, supple mouthfeel, mellow acidity
