Don’t let the discombobulating name worry you because as soon as you sip this wonderful Italian white, all will be right with the world.  Crafted from 100% Turbiana (a rare, indigenous white grape) grown around the Lake Garda area of Veneto, this is stunningly aromatic, all apricot stone, nectarine and quince, followed by ultra-zesty acidity, a beautifully balanced, succulent mouthfeel and a long, peachy finish.

Sip with: grilled sardines
