When you think of white wine, you tend not to think dry,
that is if you really haven't been exposed to a lot of
white wines. Well, I have had a few dry whites, and for
the most part was not impressed, however, this is about the
journey, and not any prior wine biases that I might have,
so I picked up this bottle with the a simple label on
it.
The wine itself had very little in its description, but
it did have the simple sentence of 'Dry White Wine.' While
it was at least one week between purchasing the bottle and
drinking it, I can say that I was very surprised.
Consisting of 80% Garganega, 15% Chardonnay and 5% Soave
Trebbiano grapes, I found this wine very refreshing and
easy to drink at any time of the day. I actually took it
down with some wings from Bahama Breeze (the Habanero and
the Jerk; of course this was following a nice sauvignon
blanc).
This wine has a subtle amount of acidity, and it would
seem to me both nuances of fruits like peach and pear, and
a dash of lemon citrus thrown in. I think that this would
be great with anything with a marinara sauce. The finish
of this wine is not long, but long enough, probably taking
no more than ten seconds.
If you are really into wines, or getting into them, and
not too much into fruity whites, then this will be a nice
gem to stock up.
