2018 Giuseppe Quintarelli Bianco Secco Cá Del Merlo

 12.5% abv

Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Sauvignon Bianco, Chardonnay, Saorin

30 year old vines on limestone and basalt

What is it about the white wines of Northern Italy that make them so satisfying?

This is a jewel of a wine... wafts of honeysuckle on the nose... tropical palate with a subtle viscosity on the finish.

Cá del Merlo translates to House of the Blackbird, I think.
