Langhe Bianco di Serralunga Fernando Principiano, Natural Wine, rare 100% Timorasso, fermented & aged in stainless steel. This recently revived grape embodies the ageing potential of a Burgundian Chardonnay, the fresh acidity of a Loire Sauvignon and the subtle salt and umami from a Jura white. Portraying subtle almond and a creamy lime zest this is perfect with fresh crab, pasta or that Friday night Mediterranean pizza.

EHaney –
White grapefruit & sea air nose. Thin on opening, more pithy citrus and unripe stone fruit. Muscadine. Touch of salt. With air gets a bit honeyed, bringing a nice balance to the zippy top notes, and a bit of something floral. Medium acidity. First time with this varietal, and no idea what to look for. Lovely simple food wine.
