Heady aromas of honeyed citrus and wild herbs show this rare variety's exotic side. The palate feels generous and round, with chamomile and subtle mint threading through. Needs some breathing room to shed initial funkiness, but Fanucchi's old vines deliver compelling character once the wine opens up.
