Winemaker's review: "The Adriatic region of Italy has long been known for producing structured and balanced white wines from the native Verdicchio variety. Trebbiano adds further structure to the final blend, while Chardonnay contributes the delicate fruit aromas. Dry in style with a clean, crisp citrusy finish. Packaged in a traditional ornamental fish bottle used for centuries in this region, it pays homage to the Marche’s rich history. It is also a good indication of the ideal pairing. Serve with any and all seafood dishes. Best when young."
Wine Folly: Trebbiano Toscano is said to have notes of lemon which makes sense because this was a very acidic wine. I could not get many notes over the acidity. Trebbiano is a grape that is very popular in Italy, so it makes sense that it would be included in a blended wine such as this one.
My review: Too acidic for me!!! I couldn't taste anything besides straight citric acid. It was not my favorite, but that may be because I tried it with a seafood dish that was quite spicy, which made the acidity all the more intense. My boyfriend bought this bottle because it was shaped like a fish, and he and his roommates finished it off.
