This little white, going for 10 USD is sumptuous. Don't know what grapes go into it (checked out Antinori's web site. Just had to trust that he is a great Tuscan producer.) This little white made me perk up. Apricot and some honey. Even a few Chard drinkers liked it. Buy this wine by the case, and don't let it last too long. Great juice!

What a coincidence. Last night with a shrimp louis salad on the deck we had a bottle of the Antinori Toscana. I thought it was very good QPR and perfect for summer deck quaffing. No one will confuse it with a white Bordeaux or even a top level Italian pinot grigio, but it is tasty and works well with light meals. Crisp, stoney, subtley sweet--apricot is a good descriptor. I didn't find much honey.
And, I bought the case during a big sale about six months ago at $7.99/bottle.

Hi Ed,
Great buy on the wine. Not a white Bordeaux, but a great family and friends quaffer. My "honey" note came from the thickness of this this white. Confused me, so I used the word "honey". This wine is composed of 80% Trebbiano and Malvasia, 20% Tuscan Chardonnay. Probably the dose of Chardonnay gave me the honey feel. Summer-time, great Italian whites, what gets better than this?
