Plenty of drive here, capitalising on the Italian grape variety’s naturally high level of acidity. Brings quince, lime, lemon, green apple, green pear together against a background of delicate apple blossom florals. Flavours sprint to a long, steely, succulent finish, revealing some nice developing textural qualities along the way across the middle palate. Plenty of acid sizzle with a touch of the grape’s noted phenolic bitter grip on display. One to be enjoyed with food.
