Venissa 2012 Dorona (Vino Bianco d'Italia)
This intriguing amber-colored wine is made entirely with the rare native grape Dorona grown in the Venetian Lagoon. It opens with aromas of dried apricot, honey, fruitcake and smoke that carry over to the mineral-driven palate along with a note of orange rind and saline. An almond note lingers on the finish. Drink through 2022. Kerin O’Keefe
