Cantina Fratelli Pardi, Montefalco (Umbria, Italy) Grechetto 2021

 I can’t truthfully lay claim to having tasted lots of examples of Grechetto from Montefalco, but I swear that this one is worthy of experimentation on your part.  Light golden in color, with very ripe fruit notes recalling apricot preserves but freshened by bright citrus edging and balanced by a pleasant bitter finishing note akin to the impression of walnut skin.  Quite complex and distinctive, but much tastier than a wine that would be a mere “curiosity.”
