Here is a delicious assembly of wine refreshment from Italy and Spain (3 from each country)!  Each of these dry whites emphasizes no / low oak, lean and energetic fruit, and luscious minerality. 

2021 Abbazia de Novacella Grüner Veltliner - No, it's not Austrian!  This hails from the Northern Italian realm of Alto Adige, also known for some of the world's best Pinot Grigio.  Gorgeously-scented, beautifully-textured.

2021 Aia Vecchia Vermentino - Known as "Rolle" when rendered in France, Vermentino is best known as coming from Sardegna and - in this case - Tuscany, Italy.  Tangy citrus and luscious melon flavors abound!

2021 Suavia Soave Classico - Made from the Garganega grape, this easy-to-love white is lean and lively.  Wet pebble and a vague leafy-ness enhance the predominant message of lemon-lime.

2021 Herencia Altes Garnatxa Blanca - From the birthplace of Grenache Blanc comes a youthful expression, spelled the Catalan way (we're taking you south of Barcelona)!  Wispy, pale fruit aspects wash over the palate, with an emphasis on white nectarine.

2021 Cuatro Rayas Verdejo - Verdejo is the most popular wine to drink on a hot summer day in Madrid.  Vibrant with daisy petal and passionfruit pizazz, it's my fave fish taco wine!

2021 Izadi Rioja Blanco - This and its current day Rioja Blanco peers are indicators of how a once-mundane white wine type can transcend that stigma.  Here is a truly great, place-honoring blend of no fewer than SIX different grape varieties!
