Monte del Frá Ca del Magro Custoza Superiore 2012
Verona, Veneto, ItalyFragrant honeysuckle leaps from the glass of this white blend from the hills of Custoza, a small hamlet in the commune of Sommacampagna, south-east of Lake Garda. The Ca’ del Magro vineyard is over 40 years old, and a blend of garganega, trebbiano toscano, tocai friulano, cortese, chardonnay, riesling italico, malvasia and incrocio manzoni. This spends 6-8 months on full lees in stainless steel. Lush and full bodied, with rosewater, honey, ripe quince, baked golden delicious apples and Asian pear. Tangerine freshness counters the ripe weight of the fruit, landing at a pleasant 13 percent alcohol and fine ginger spicing on the finish. A lovely full and complete wine to pour when you'd like a richer, fragrant wine with acidity. Try with glazed duck.Tasted: 22 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $21.00 | 750ml | BCLS |
