Preorder only – available in May

Made from the Garganega grape, which is known as Grecanico in Sicily. Honeyed florals, ginger and crushed stone on the nose, this wine is round in texture with crisp orchard fruits and a liquid flower concentration that builds tension throughout. The medium-length finish leaves young peach and dried apricot notes mingling. Delicious!
