    "Luminous straw yellow. Apple, pear and herbs on the fresh nose. Then bright and juicy, with delicious apple jelly, pear reduction and savory herb flavors lifted by orange and lemony nuances. Long and clean on the finish which offers sneaky concentration and a multilayered quality. This wine highlights Garganega’s pear and yellow fruit aromas and flavors, rather than sharp citrus or green nuances more typical of Sauvignon Blanc or of early harvested grapes." -Ian D'Agata
