“This Bordeaux-inspired wine shines with aromas of blackberry compote, cassis, tobacco, violets and baking spices. The Italianate palate lifts the rich, darkly hued fruit-centric palate with vibrant acidity and savory finishes that show what heights these grapes can achieve in Italy.”

"This aromatic wine leaps out of the glass with fresh wildflowers, ginger, kafir lime zest, dried limes and stone fruit. The palate is energetic and lively with a distinct floral note mixed with candied citrus and bitter apricot finishing with a hint of wild mint."

Highly aromatic, grapey and intensely floral – would be too much for some people. Grapey and orange and orange blossom on the palate. So aromatic is is hard to see the volcanic influence. Fresh and extreme in its aromatic quality. I can see why it is called as it is. But it’s surprising the the floral character is still so primary after a few years in bottle.

The 2015 Maeli Spumante Moscato Fior d’Arancio Colli Euganei is an extremely successful wine that speaks clearly of Moscato Giallo, showcasing the variety’s typical candied citrus peel and pungent yellow flower notes well, combining these with a clean, savory mouthfeel and long finish.

Cloudy gold. Aromas of ripe lemon and clementine. Reminds me of a lemon and ginger infusion. Dry wine with a chewy texture that gives an attractive and light tannic grip to balance the intense and aromatic fruit.
