The 2012 Le Vignole is an oak-aged white wine from central Italy. Long skin maceration times add a saturated golden hue to the wine's sophisticated appearance. The nose is heavy with thick tones of dried apricot, toasted almond, freshly churned butter and butterscotch. No doubt, this is a full-bodied white to pair with chicken, pork or shellfish. The finish is full of fruit flavor but is also a bit flat in terms of acidic freshness.
