This wine has a little extra spot in my heart since I was there last year around the end of harvest beginning of vinification. A blend of 70% Inzolia and 30% chardonnay fermented in steel tanks, this is not a blockbuster or profound wine. Instead, it is a delightful wine with seafood (as I had it). It showed nice bracing acidity with soft fruit flavors and no oak! At a retail price of around $18/bottle it is a superior wine for food that is also nice for sipping. I put it in the same class as albarino for pairing purposes, although the flavor profiles are somewhat different.
