Masottina 1999 Vigneto Rizzardo White (Colli di Conegliano)

Country: Italy / Vigneto Rizzardo
Variety: White Blend Veneto
Winery: Masottina / Colli di Conegliano

This blend of Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling starts off with barrel-fermented notes of butter and baked apples, then folds in tropical fruit flavors. But for all its buttery ripeness, it avoids going over the top, and finishes long, with lemony acids holding its components together.
