Alcamo Bianco doc 2008 Firriato
This classic Sicilian wine has an intense golden yellow colour. It is elegant
and delicate, with complex notes whose bouquet reminds one of the
meadow's flowers and white fruit - melon and pear in particular. The
palate reveals soft, harmonious notes, which are characterized by an
attractive, gently acidity. |
