2009 Cascina Feipu dei Massaretti Pigato (Riviera Ligure di Ponente)


Importer: Kermit Lynch

Source: Zachys

Consumption Date: 1/11/2013

Notes: Mild fruity and floral aroma with a hint of wet chalk.  Fairly light in body with pleasant lively lemon fruit with floral notes and a mild, chalky mineral frame.  Finishes full with a nutty, borderline bitterness fading into more tart lemon fruit and chalk.  Surprisingly long finish.

This is a pleasant, if somewhat pedestrian white wine from the Italian Riviera.  It is enjoyable to drink, but without any serious depth or complexity.  Still it is a well made wine with some interesting flavor characteristics.

Value: Average
