Vino Bianco
Italy
$15
Review: Opici's Vino Bianco comes in a gorgeous fish shaped bottle, with scale detail and all in teh glass. I'm thoroughly impressed by the packaging at first sight. This wine comes from Italy, made with the Garganega grape with 12.5% alcohol. It is reminiscent of pinot grigio, though it ends up more like green apples, and the green part of the cantaloupe. It reaches the nose with white florals, pineapples and apricots (stone fruit). This wine has overtones of grapefruit that become more prominent as it opens in the glass. While this wine isn't necessarily a knockout, it is absolutely perfect for sitting by the lake in the summer, catching real fish, or just relaxing.
Color: yellow tinge
Smell: grape juicey; pear
Taste: dry, bite/spice, apple, pear, rough
Personal rating: This was definitely not a favorite of mine. This was probably actually meant more as a cooking wine. We bought it for the bottle mostly.
