Purchased several in 2010 for 18/b and have drunk them over time. Cautiously optimistic that a white wine of this quality would hold up, and I haven't been disappointed. Color: bright, golden; Nose: fragrant, some nuttiness, tree fruits; Body: rich mouthfeel, delicious; Finish: 8-10 seconds. Overall very pleased. Went well with pan-seared sockeye. Stored horizontal in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I consider this '07 Schiopetto Blanc des Rosis to be notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.

Terroir: bella integrità a quasi sette anni dalla vendemmia. Bel naso bianco di fiori carnosi e cedro. Bocca diversa dai precedenti assaggi, quasi crudo con un'acidità meno amalgamata e commista al calore dell'alcool

Washed-out yellow. Nice nose of honey-lemon and tropical flowers. Medium bodied, somewhat oily, lemons, almond paste, river rocks, fair acidity, and a medium + finish. Pretty good for an Italian mish-mash.

Tropical is the first thing that comes to mind. Honey, lemon, hints of mineral. Nice white blend. As it warmed up, I found green apple coming through.

A very easy to drink and food friendly wine. Light tropical fruits and good acidity. Good weight to this.
