Shop 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: At first sniff, this wine reminded me a lot of champagne, with a hint of a pear scent. The wine seemed a bit buttery, perhaps meaning there was oaking at some point? There also seemed to be a slight acidity, perhaps an apple type flavor.
With Food? No
