Lovers of fine Italian whites don’t miss this dazzling star from the third-generation Antonio Federici family estate near Rome.
Bursting with white peach and orange blossom notes on a mouth-watering citrus-crisp finish, it’s the ultimate in refreshment.
And guess what? The prestigious Luca Maroni Wine Guide has rated it 99 points out of a possible 99. Yes, that’s a perfect score!
It’s made from Malvasia Puntinata, and if you haven’t heard of this delicious grape, we’re not surprised. It’s a native grape of Lazio, near Rome, so you may have tasted it in that beautiful, chaotic city if you’ve visited, but limited quantities mean not much of it leaves Italy. Actually, not much of it leaves Rome! The Romans know what’s good and this wine usually goes to the top restaurants. We were lucky enough to get some of the red during that infamous period in 2020 when restaurants were closed, and our good connections mean we’ve remained on the list to get the white as well.
And we are so glad we did because this is SO delicious! It’s beautifully aromatic and elegant, with wonderful apricot, orange blossom, and herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied, it has a lipsmacking freshness, with gorgeous minerality and a crisp, citrus finish. It’s the perfect seafood partner – though you can easily just sip on it solo too.
We love it. Luca Maroni loves it. (As that 99/99 score shows!) And we think you will love it too!
An Italian white to make the tastebuds tingle! Crafted from local Malvasia Puntinata from a third-generation family estate near Rome, it dazzles with white peach and blossom notes and mouth-watering citrus with a crisp finish. Ultra refreshing.
