It's not often you run into Italian Vodkas & as a Total Wine Spirit Direct for which I had a $2 off coupon, it was hard to say no to it. Made of winter wheat, the European influence shows from the aroma. It's straightforward but surprisingly pleasant: it smells of wheat, an undefined gentle sweetness and just the slightest bit of ethanol betraying this is indeed an alcoholic drink. The palate is surprisingly sweet without invoking any particular flavors. It's actually almost as sweet as a good deal of corn vodkas with the added bonus that it is decidedly less bitter than corn based distillates tend to be. There is a nice wheat flavor underpinning the entire experience that closely follows the nose and lasts all the way to the back palate. Besides the sweetness and wheat undertones, the finish is extremely light, very smooth with only the a light burn and the slightest hints of alcohol bitterness. Texture wise it has a medium viscosity similar to other wheat based vodkas. Overall this is a very smooth, sweet experience. It's a bit one-note and unexciting but there's nothing wrong with it either. For the price point it's a bargain providing good sweetness without much bitterness. Be sure to give this one a try.
