Made from Turbiana (the local name for Verdicchio) grown on the southern side of Lake Garda, this wine is an immediate hit. Pronounced honey, apple and citrus flavours are joined by a slight nutty undertone. Peachy hints develop on the mid-palate and remain through the finish. Quite a rich wine, but balanced by fresh acidity. Lovely.
