A fun and fruity grape from Campania finds a home with Italian specialist Orsi in Sonoma. Forward peach aromas get a little spice and a little floral addition, and the peach and spice ride a viscous midpalate through a crisp finish that brings the floral impression back. I’m seeing more of this grape in California, and that’s a good thing.
