Organoleptic evaluation and food pairing: Great Italian white from Tenuta Ulisse, increasingly establishing itself among the best PQR wineries in the Costa Rican market. Incredibly fruit forward on the nose, almost a fruit salad of tropical melon, papaya, passion fruit and pineapple aromas balanced by a few green apple, lime and grass hints. On the palate, light-bodied, rather fresh and simple, dry with good grapefruit driven acidity (a bit more would be even better) and a bit of a spicy punch from the 13% ABV. Beautiful, fresh, easy summer white!
