Tenuta Casteani DOC Maremma Toscana Santasso Viognier 2020 lebanon The Home Block at 40+This is a pure expression of Viognier. Its straw coloured appearance is accentuated by subtle greenish highlights. The complexity of aromas is striking, featuring apricot, pineapple, and yellow peach, along with delicate floral notes reminiscent of wisteria and broom. On the palate, it offers a round, soft, fresh, and slightly saline experience. The finish is remarkably long, leaving a delightful trace of citrus fruits and apricot on the palate.
