The vivid bouquet echoes orange blossom, lemon peel, dried aromatic herbs, lavender & hawthorn with lingering aromas of wisteria, thyme and citrus blossom honey. On the palate it is refined, smmoth & dry with rounded, honeyed flavours of fresh, bright citrus fruits, herbal notes and hints of orange blossom, honey and brown sugar in the long finish. www.capichera.it 100% Vermentino A fantastic wine to serve with grilled fish, fish stew, vegetable dishes such as leek and parmesan risotto or pasta dishes inclduing sage & ricotta ravioli or those with pesto based sauces.
