La Tunella Whites

Celia Sin-Tien Cheng

I loved each of Massimo’s whites, all from indigenous Italian grapes. But the Ribolla Giajalla ($26) gave me goose bumps it was so good. The 2007 Rjgialla Selèze is a 100% Ribolla wine with notes of pink grapefruit, citrus and white flowers. The fragrant nose gets you with one whiff. And don’t miss his Bianco Sesto, 50% Friulano and 50% Ribolla Giajalla ($30), a Tre Bicchieri winner. I’m not one to believe a wine is good just because it rates well, so trust me – this is a truly outstanding wine. Lucky for us some of these wines come in half bottles, too. House white, anyone?
