Sicily, Italy..... "The Melia family winery, since its founding, has been a proponent of the island’s nouvelle vague, that is wines that are characteristic of the territory, but not always made exclusively from indigenous varieties. That is the case with Scurati Bianco 2006 blend of Grecanico, Grillo and Chardonnay. We found it instantly appealing for its pleasant fragrance of thyme and oregano along with floral and fruity notes. The palate is in symmetry with the nose, offering a pleasant, fresh acidic backbone and a finish that hints at loquats." Best buy- Gambero Rosso
