Livio Felluga, Sharis, DOC

If you get for a good price, this is nice and interesting house white to keep at home. Accessible, crisp and non-intrusive -- goes with almost any white friendly dish. Works for wine lovers and novices a same table. Crisp citrus, almost Chablis-like with a nice bracing minerality.

Golden pineapple and mineral. Fresh, light. Nicely balanced and well made. Acid. Will improve with a few (2-3) years in the bottle. Didn't quite stand up to radicchio with borlotti beans or the pork rib and onion stew; would do nicely with washoku. Richer and more tropical on day two. Creamy. Very interesting. The palate remains thin.

Interesting and very elegant, even royal in its overall feel. Lovely acidity. A beautiful wine in many ways.

Chardonnay from Italy (Verona - Vinitaly) : This is the only wine tasted being a chardonnay blend, not 100% Light straw yellow. Intense, complex and fine smell: FRUITY: peach and gold plum, similar to a Sauvignon. Dry, alcoholic (12,5%) and rounded; very good acidity and minerals. Balance a bit shifted towards harsh. Body: 6 Fruit weak at taste.
