This little white, going for 10 USD is sumptuous. Don't know what grapes

into it (checked out Antinori's web site. Just had to trust that he is a

some
honey. Even a few Chard drinkers liked it. Buy this wine by the case, and
don't let it last too long. Great juice!


What a coincidence. Last night with a shrimp louis salad on the deck
we had a bottle of the Antinori Toscana. I thought it was very good
QPR and perfect for summer deck quaffing. No one will confuse it with
a white Bordeaux or even a top level Italian pinot grigio, but it is
tasty and works well with light meals. Crisp, stoney, subtley
sweet--apricot is a good descriptor. I didn't find much honey.

And, I bought the case during a big sale about six months ago at
$7.99/bottle.


Hi Ed,

Great buy on the wine. Not a white Bordeaux, but a great family and friends
quaffer. My "honey" note came from the thickness of this this white.
Confused me, so I used the word "honey". This wine is composed of 80%
Trebbiano and Malvasia, 20% Tuscan Chardonnay. Probably the dose of
Chardonnay gave me the honey feel. Summer-time, great Italian whites, what
gets better than this?
