Viansa Pierina 07

Here is another white wine from Viansa. We opened it because we made fish for dinner.

The bottle says they are the only producer of Viernaccia in the the US. Typically, it is crafted to display flinty, almost mineral flavors, but they try to produce a more multi-dimensional fruity style of wine that still stays true to its origins. So, this is another pseudo-Italian wine. Estate grown Carneros grapes. 14.1% alcohol.

This wine is a fairly colorful white wine in the glass. The nose presents sour apple and pear. On the palate, there is a peachy, chardonnay taste. Bitter Oak dominates the finish.

We would not buy this wine again, but the other wine from the same vintner was excellent.
