Winery review: Brilliant straw color with emerald reflections. Fresh and floral bouquet with a hint of pears, apricots and bananas. Fresh and inviting with bright fruit and an easy drinking style with a pleasing hint of almonds in the aftertaste. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi, spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.
My review: Let me start off by saying I had a cold this week, and not being able to smell well really impacted my wine tasting experience. This really allowed me to appreciate how much smell influences our wine drinking experience. I thought this wine was definitely a softer smell and was harder to pick up scents with my cold. The little smell I could pick up on was a sweet one. I did think the wine had a pear taste to it. It wasn't a fruity or very sweet white wine which is always a nice change. I thought this wine was good and it was probably my favorite of the week.
I did not try this wine with food.
