The wine is named after one of the sisters from the opera Cosi Fan Tutte. We particularly like the mouth-feel of this wine with its generous texture and lovely acidity backed by very subtle tannins. There are lovely notes of strawberries and cherries, but there is also a lingering herbal note that reminds us of marjoram or oregano. Some carbon dioxide remains in this wine to enhance its freshness, but these bubbles soon disappear in the glass.
