Acclaim
“From the south shores of Lake Garda, this 100% Trebbiano shows a fresh character of forward, ripe lemon and lime with layers of stone fruit. Engaging acidity gives way to supple textures and an unexpected, lingering finish.” 
— Decanter, Jan 2021
“Bright citrus, aromatic herb and spring blossom aromas take center stage on this refreshing white. The crisp savory palate delivers Bartlett pear, peach, lemon zest and a hint of ginger before closing on a white almond note.” (Editors’ Choice)
