Visiting Rome and Tuscany; 6/18/2019-7/2/2019 (Lazio and Tuscany, Italy): Sourced from Antinori's best Pinot Blanc vineyards on their Monteloro estate (set in the hillsides behind Fiesole), this pale yellow/green wine offers attractive floral, citrus, white peach and mango aromas and flavors. With a slight spritz that rapidly dissipates upon opening, it is a light bodied, freshly acidic, unoaked white without noticeable alcohol (12%). Despite its light body, there is excellent density on the middle palate. Maintaining good tension throughout its medium-length finish, this is a delight to drink. Enjoy it as an apéritif or with light fare, preferably in its youth. Drink now-2021.
