ITALY - Il Poggiale’s 2007 Trebbiano was produced in an old world style with the dominant white grape of Tuscany. Trebbiano grapes originated in Tuscany and now account for almost a third of all white wine in Italy. This classic white wine is from estate grown, hand-selected grapes and displays a subtle straw yellow color with light golden reflections, clear and transparent, and vivacious in its hues. A delicate aroma, fresh and fruity, with hints of peach, white melon, and cistrus persists on the nose. The flavor is consistent with the bouquet, with sharp tangy notes, bright citrus fruits and well-balanced hints of minerals. This incredibly refreshing white wine leads into a smooth, crisp, clean and pleasant finish. Try pairing the Il Poggiale 2007 Trebbiano with shellfish and roasted meats.
