Peter Maude Fine Wines
2022, Poggio Alle Gazze Dell'Ornellaia, TOSCANA IGT, Bianco
$98
Blend: Sauvignon Blanc, Vermentino, Viognier, Verdicchio, S?millon.
Made mostly with 53% Sauvignon Blanc, 37% Vermentino, 6% Viognier, 2% Verdicchio and 2% Semillon, the 2022 Poggio alle Gazze dell'Ornellaia is fragrant and fresh with aromas of lemongrass, sweet sage, honey and green apple that hover high in the glass. Pretty mineral notes of flint and crushed stone round it off. This is a tart, easy-drinking white wine that would pair with the delicious fresh seafood catch of the day found along the Tuscan coast. The wine is partially aged in new and neutral oak and cement. 91 Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (2024).
