Marcazzan Garda Monti Lessini

Solid showing. Loads of ripe apple fruit accompanied by noticeable VA, which, under normal circumstances, really bothers me, but not here. That said, the acid level is not high, it's closer to medium minus. So there is a strange thing at play here, one the one hand it is ripe, almost rich, with its yellow apple fruit but is low in acidity albeit a quite volatile acidity. Definitely not a grape I'm used to drinking and I've never had it …

I don't recall ever having this grape varietal. Served from the fridge. Lemon curd, lanolin, starfruit, Granny Smith apple, and a little butterscotch. Nice acidity. Refreshing with a delightful, light mouthfeel. A nice alternative to Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, or Albariño for lighter fare. First bottle of three, and should probably drink the remaining ones in the next year.

Past prime, not pleasant, I dumped it.
