Wine Review: This pale yellow colored white wine from Italy opens with a fragrant lemon zest and tangerine like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, zingy and crisp. The flavor profile is a tart green apple with infused mineral notes throughout. We also detected some white pepper and a touch of apricot. The finish is dry and its acidity and flavors linger after the wines is gone. The panel suggested pairing this wine with pan-seared sea scallops or baked stuffed sole. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Grecante is a fresh, crisp wine enjoyed chilled at a temperature of 50°F as an aperitif wine or consumed with seafood, veal, or poultry dishes.
