Wine Advocate “an open nose of quince, warm hay, green apple and pear, baker’s yeast, acacia and dried chamomile with white peach and nectarine plus hints of lime peel and crushed stone. Light to medium-bodied, it has a wonderful core of spicy fruit and wicked minerality in the mouth, amplified by juicy freshness and a long, energetic, layered finish. Yum!" 29.99; Mixed Case, 26.99; Case, 25.49
2018 Capofaro Didyme Malvasia Bianco Secco: All kinds of things happening in this one. The fruit bounces from peach to apricot and lemon with an amazing sea breeze of salinity.
