additional notes
1. This Grechetto was aged sur lies. This means that the dead yeast cells were not removed after fermentation. This method adds a nutty, yeasty character to the wine.
2. The aroma is huge! Take your time trying to pick what you smell. Lots of ripe fruit, herbs as well as the yeast mentioned above.
3. The taste of Donna Porzia is more subtle that the aroma would suggest, with the fruit slightly ahead of the earth.
4. The body is fuller than what you might expect from a Grechetto.
