The middle wine of a three wine tasting, this was the best combination of fun and serious. Not terribly tasty with pizza, though.
Quite pale; silvery, with lazy bubbles.
Bready, floury nose, with hints of candied lemon peel. Quite blossom-y, with a richness that comes with coaxing.
The palate rides the mousse and then erupts as it hits the middle of the tongue. It's rich and doughy, with roasted citrus that melts to leave a flinty anise note along the edges. Generous, but still with good focus. Vibrant - hums a bit.
