Riflessi Circeo DOC Bianco — Cantina Sant’Andrea, Borgo Vodice (LT), Italy — Master vinter Gabrielle Pandolfo brings to life from the cellar’s Linea Acquerelli (Watercolor Line) a blend of Trebbiano (60%) and Malvasia Puntinata (40%) grapes.
Straw yellow in color, Riflessi Circeo DOC Bianco’s delicate and elegant bouquet is filled with floral notes of white flowers and light marks of tropical fruits. On the palate, fresh and dry with great structure and a pleasant aftertaste.
Riflessi Circeo DOC Bianco goes perfectly with a variety of fish-based dishes like sea salads, spaghetti with mussels or clams, and risotto alla pescatore (fisherman’s rice). Best served cool between 8-10°C.

Loved the description of “floral notes of white flowers ..” A parfumier could not have done better
Well, thanks Helen for that comment. You may not be aware, but I did spend a year creating fragrances for Fragonard in Grasse. Just kidding. :>)
