Italy, Veneto
Garganega
Description
An absolutely superb Italian white made by Stefano Inama, with an enticing, lifted nose, showing succulent aromas of honey, apricot and herbs. The honeyed palate shows stone-fruit flavours, a slight hint of spice and a long, intense finish. This is a complex and powerful Italian white that’s great with cod or herbed chicken with rich sauces.
