Wine of the Week – Marchese Fumanelli Terso Bianco 2009

Marchese Fumanelli has been making wines in Italy’s Valpolicella region since 1470. This lovely white is distinctive with its blend of 50 percent Garganega and 50 percent Trebbiano Toscana. Golden green in color, it delivers an elegant balance of fruit and minerality with a nose of white acacia blossoms and honey. We loved it for its distinctiveness and notes of fresh apricot, apple, mint and eucalyptus. Totally different from other whites,it delivers a unique experience that we found captivating. The wine is 13% ABV. The wines are imported by Pasternak Imports in the U.S.
