Recently Tasted: SERGIO MOTTURA POGGIO DELLA COSTA GRECHETTO 2008

100% Grechetto, an underappreciated white varietal from central Italy. The back label says it's made from organic grapes.  Aged on its lees in stainless steel. Aromas of white peach, flowers, and almonds. The peach really dominates on the flavour, with an agreeably bitterness at the back…a bit like rolling a peach pit around in your mouth. Good acidity too, with medium length. Medium-bodied.  The bottle says 14% ABV but that seems higher than what I get.  Great match with broiled scampi.

Even more interesting is the description of the wine at the bottom of the front label. Is this what happens when the folks on the label machine sample too much of the product?
