Shop/wine critic/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 finish. Pairs well with seafood dishes, risottos with scampi,spaghetti with clams, sole in white wine. Perfect also as an aperitif.
My Review:
This wine had a mild gold color and presented a sharp fruity scent. The flavor was mild, smooth, and pleasant predominated by a fruity mildly pear flavor. Overall, I thought the wine was pleasant but generally unmemorable. I would put it at about a 75/100. It's good, and I could enjoy it with a dinner, but it's generally unremarkable, so I figure a 75 suits it pretty well.
