Cantina di Venosa 2005 Terre di Orazio Dry Muscat (Basilicata)

Country: Italy / Terre di Orazio Dry
Variety: Muscat Southern Italy
Winery: Cantina di Venosa / Basilicata

Basilicata, the “arch” of the boot of Italy, is one of the country’s most fascinating and little-known regions. Insular, superstitious and rustic, it is also a territory deeply linked to its wine growing traditions. Here’s an openly aromatic white with soapy floral notes and flavors of dried apricot and honey. You’d think it was a dessert wine, but its not.
