Tasting Notes: From Umbria, this exciting white wine is the first on US soil for Terre Margaritelli–the ultra-progressive estate that is pushing the envelope for development in the region. On track to be certified organic, Terre Margaritelli is a botanical wonderland of sorts, growing varietals and clones found nowhere else in Umbria. This blend of classic Trebbiano and Grechetto is hyper clean and bright, with expressive Meyer lemon, salt-water stream, and green olive aromas.
