Wine Review: If you are looking for an extraordinary value in a white wine, I would suggest this really nice option from Masi. This richly yellow colored white opens with a very aromatic bouquet with hints of lemon. On the palate, this light to medium bodied wine is round, crisp, slightly creamy as a result of the added Verduzzo. The wine is quite tasty with its light citrus like flavors and notes of lemon and minerality. The finish is dry, refreshing, and lingers nicely for an Italian white wine. This is a great food wine. This wine would pair perfectly with swordfish. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Interesting colour nuances with notable golden reflections. Attractive flower-fresh and ripe-fruit nose. The Verduzzo grapes ensure complexity and the Pinot Grigio grapes give their usual freshness on the palate. Marked hints of dried fruit and an aftertaste with hints of pineapple.
