youthful sensations from its sojourn in new oak for 6 months, together with
a fullness on both nose and palate mingled with warm exotic aromas and n
otes of sage and rosemary.
Pecorino i.g.t. 2009
Safari
Pecorino is the rarely seen ancestor of the white Pinot varietals,
but certainly doesn’t taste like a Pinot Gris or Blanc. Fruity, yes, but richer and bolder.
Good structure and an evolving presence. Probably good for sipping on its own,
but our bottle didn’t last that long.
Lazio
Colle Bianco
Passerina del Frusinate i.g.t.
Casale della Ioria
Fruity and fresh, good body, with excellent balance
between sweet and sour notes. A wine that leaves the mouth absolutely clean.
An intense warm fragrance. Alongside the floral aromas of daisy,
hawthorn and camomile, a pleasant fruity aroma of pear stands out.
The aroma is completed by fresh notes of sage and mint.
