Tasting notes

Single-vineyard-vermentino. With the great single-vineyard-pigato I was looking forward to this. And was disappointed. Light straw colour. Hints of flowers and lemons in the nose. Medium bodied, fresh and cleanly made wine. Flowery and herbacious palate. Good acidity and length. I kept looking for the nice minerals that I found in the Le Petraje, but this did not show much of that at all. Nicely balanced but much simpler wine. One step up in intesity from the vermentino "normale". Not worth the price.
