Score: 89Vintage 2019Vinous MediaThe 2019 Rina Ianca delivers everything you’d hope for from a blend of Grillo and Viognier. It’s intensely fruity, floral, exotic and a bit tropical on the nose. There’s a glycerol weightiness and inner sweetness here, wonderfully contrasted by bright acids, zesty citrus and hints of mint. Notes of sour apple and green melon linger, along with a bitter suggestion of savory herbs. Nicely done.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
