Guilty Pleasure: wine descriptions totally tickle my literary funny bone. From the whimsical to the sexy and sophisticated, the wines I end up researching are as much for recommendation as for browsing through imaginative phrasing. Currently, the two sitting at the dinner table...
winemaker's notes:
Costamolino is lemon-green
in color with intense yet delicate aromas of citrus, pineapple,
tropical fruits and honey. On the palate, the wine shows a delightfully
zesty acidity, which makes it the wine of choice for many dishes, from
fish antipasti and pastas to vegetables terrine, salads, white meat
casseroles and risotto. Also delicious with Asian food and sushi.
Vintage Notes
This lusciously opulent wine has all the richness without the excessive oak and butter that characterize most California Chardonnays. Wonderful aromas of pineapple, pear and orange flower honey are prominent with undertones of toasty oak. There is a kiss of orange blossom perfume in the background. Flavors of apple butter and cinnamon toast are balanced by a good dose of lemon zest and a crisp, mineral finish. Pair this lovely Chardonnay with roast chicken or risotto or a salad of apples, pears and sharp cheese.
