Hand harvested grapes from several high altitude regions in Venezie Italy give this light style wine a refreshing and citrus flavor that is very pleasant. Clear, pale, lemon colored on the eyes and on the nose it is clean with a medium intensity of white flowers, lemon, light pineapple and citrus. Tastes of tropical flavors, citrus, lemon and a hint of melon come apparent on first sips. A bit of fresh tingling on the tongue and after a few additional sips, I picked up lees flavor, prevalent in some chardonnays as a lemonpastry flavor also. This wine has been rated quite high and Fabrizio Gatto, the winemaker, also is known for one of the best Proseccos also.
I paired this with a fresh herbed Rosemary chicken dish,paprika and spiced up potatoes, accompanied with buttered green beans.
