This wine has taken some big awards already on the wine competition circuit, and I’d say it’s headed for more — if the supply holds out. In other words, get in the game now if your thing is crisp, refreshing white wine that brings zippy flavors of kiwi, melon and citrus zest that are rounded off just right by some time in neutral oak. While the grape hails from the Avellino area in southern Italy, it’s definitely found a suitable home in Oak Farm’s estate vineyards.
