The Vintage Cellar's Review: "Bright straw yellow in color. Delicate on the nose, with notes of flowers and almonds. Dry, well-structured and delicately fruity, with hints of bitter almonds on the finish that is typical of Garganega-based wines."
My Review: I really liked this sweet, white wine. It had an almost floral scent, but very delicate. I picked up a slight almond fragrance both on the nose and palate, but an even stronger presence of honey. It was a little bit tangier in flavor than I expected, what with the light aroma, and left an acidic aftertaste.
I tasted this without food, but I think it would pair nicely with a light dessert.
