WINE: 2005 Tenuta di Pietra Porzia Frascati Superiore Regillo
ALCOHOL: 13.3%
PRICE: $25
The label on this Frascati Superiore is what initially attracted Risqué’s eye but it was the dimension of the flavors that held his attention.
The lovely light golden hue swells with the HUGE scent of ripe pear, honeydew melon and billowous pink honeysuckle hinting at soft MAN musky notes. The body of this delight is light but again with HUGE wonderful citrusy acidity, succulent ripe white peaches and white pepper, and the perfumed taste of apples and cloves finishing into a LENGTHY almond finish.
The “Dioscuri” or the youths on the label are only a hint at that bright star that this lovely Italian table white is to the tongue.
The delivery is so much greater than the expectation!
Risqué would say...These twins are definitely GROWERS!
