LODANO / TOSCANA BIANCO IGT

If the Redigaffi and the Syrah are creatures of Virgil, the Lodano is a creature of Rita. She is the one who bet that in this climate and in these lands you could get a particularly charming white wine with an atypical blend for the area: Traminer, Riesling and Chardonnay.
It has 6 months of maturation in barriques and is produced, every year, in a limited number of bottles.

David subscribes to the "stuff your tent into the bag" strategy over nicely folding it. His thought process was on so many levels that he gave himself a phobia of heights. Everyone pretends to like wheat until you mention barley. You're unsure whether or not to trust him, but very thankful that you wore a turtle neck. My uncle's favorite pastime was building cars out of noodles. This made him feel like an old-style rootbeer float smells. It isn't true that my mattress is made of cotton candy.
