The wine, straw-yellow in color, is fresh and structured because of a good acidity level. It is very agreeable on the nose for its fine aromatic characteristics. It has some floral and fruity notes. To be drunk at a temperature of 10-12°C, it is excellent as an aperitif and goes well with fish appetizers.
You don't see many wine appellations with exclamation marks. The name of the appellation is said to have come from the journey to Rome of a German bishop, Johann Fugger. Keen to ensure a good night's drinking along his route, he would send a servant ahead every day to mark the doors of inns serving good wine with an 'Est!’. Coming across a particular inn in the town of Montefiascone, the servant was so taken with their wine that he marked the door with 'Est! Est!! Est!!!'. It must have been lovely stuff as Johann Fugger moved to the town to live for the rest of his life. This particular wine has a light lemon nose with a refreshing palate of stone fruits, spice and fresh lemons. The finish increases in intensity, with the bright acidity sweeping through. A lovely summer wine.
