Green Wine & Porcupine, Sergio Mottura Grecchetto, Gambero Rosso

Why do some wines get your attention and others don't?

At a large tasting such as Gambero Rosso, it could be a familiar face, the winery itself as you are already acquainted.

When I got to Sergio Mottura spot in the Gambero Rosso line up, both my minds and my taste buds were still fresh as he was only number 10...

What actually caught my eye at first was the porcupine on the label.

Mr. Mottura shared that they are common in the area. No wonder the estate also counts an hotel named La Tana dell'Istrice (The Porcupine's Lair) where you can experience life in the wine lane.

He had 2 whites with him, both Grechetto which was a 'new' grape to me.
In its full (IGT) it goes by Grechetto di Civitella d'Agliano...
