CASTELLARGO ALBUS WHITE BLEND

In an area best known for Pinot Grigio, Castellargo is producing one of the best quality white blends in the region without the use of its most popular grape. Albus is a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Friulano that is not aged in oak to preserve the freshness and acidity. This wine is refreshingly juicy from the first sip. Exotic flavors of elderflower, guava and lychee zing into medium-plus acidity. Notes of honeysuckle and jasmine quaff through the mid-palate with a backbone of wet rock minerality. The finish is clean and lip-smacking with hints of citrus. Summer stunner!  James Score: 90
