100% Passerina. The lovely, medium+ to medium-high intensity nose is quite complex and evolving in the glass with delicate mineral, lemon citrus, peach, apricot, and stone fruit aromas, plus spice and herbal notes. It has good weight on the dry, medium+ bodied and fleshy palate with ripe, lightly honeyed flavours of lemon citrus, peach, stone fruit, and melon flecked with leesy minerality. It has a finely textured mouthfeel, along with juicy well-balanced acidity. Leesy mineral notes linger on the long, juicy finish. Tasted Jan. 2024.

It's nice to see the LCBO bringing in more Italian native varieties like this very affordable Passerina from the Marche in west-central Italy. Expressive aromatics here and flavours of citrus, a tropical note, fennel and herbs. It's mid weight with a pleasant textural element. The acidity is medium and the length very good. A touch warming despite only 12.5% abv. Enjoy with cream of asparagus soup as you welcome in Spring. March 2024.
