Get to know:Alpha Box & Dice, Italian Plastic Golden

Tasting Note

With up-front aromatics and florals, it starts out all skinsy and tropical with notes of tangerine and stonefruits. Refreshingly dry on the end for an easy-drinking finish. Textural and interesting, fun and chewy.

Try this with a plate of sliced cured squash with sea salt and olive oil, Moroccan chickpea stew or lamb tagine.
