(at Morrisons autumn/winter tasting, 30 Sep 2018)
High street choice - Tesco's Italian white wine selection is commendable but this is the most interesting (try also the Tesco Finest Pecorino, Falanghina, Gavi, Greco and Verdicchio). Made from the rare Passerina grape - named after the sparrow that likes eating them - it offers aromas and flavours of ripe peach and delicate floral and herb tones on a round, creamy palate, kept fresh by bright acidity. Excellent value!
