Singular, fleshy, slick.
Here is another lovely vintage of the Monte del Fra, which hails from Custoza, only 15km from Lake Garda near Verona. It is a very unique blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Tocai Friulano, Cortese, Chardonnay-Riesling Italico-Malvasia and Incrocio Manzoni from a vineyard more than 40 years old.
This is a definitive food wine that has a golden hue and notes of candle wax and yellow apples, star fruit and wild honey with peach fuzz undertones. It has a slick texture and lovely mouthfeel alongside zesty pomelo and lemon wax flavours. A singular wine I always enjoy reviewing.
Pair: Oysters, sushi, sashimi, white meats and glazed duck.
