 Tasted by Boupboup on 11/13/2016 & rated 88 points: agréable, bon goût de pamplemousse, vin velouté, excellent (2495 views)
 Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 4/14/2016: 100% Verduzo gives it more weight and tropical character is the thought. Just a touch tired but I guess what not. (2914 views)
 Tasted by ocho8888 on 7/26/2015: Diluted (3396 views)
 Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 4/13/2015 & rated 83 points: An afternoon of Italians (wine and people) (Vince & Lisa's): I suspect this was better a couple of years ago. Artificial cork and a lighter weight Pinot Grigio do't really make for holding wines. I don't know if this was bought recently, but I suspect it was meaning it was on the store or distributor shelves past its prime. That said, it was certainly drinkable. Not much fruit. Some minerality. A bit harsh on the finish perhaps. On to the reds. (4247 views)
 Tasted by pgb67 on 12/23/2014 & rated 91 points: An upper-end pinot grigio with a fair price - aromas of tropical fruits and a fresh palate of pear with traces of honey and citrus. Flavors gain weight over time. (3984 views)
 Tasted by BrunelloBob on 9/7/2014 & rated 86 points: Asked Trusted Wine Guy for "some interesting whites". He started talking about drying white grapes and Masi, and I figured this was worth a try. Glad I did, but won't seek it out again. Beautiful Wife likes more than I do. (2622 views)
 Tasted by jviz on 6/17/2014 & rated 86 points: Light, thin, honey, citrus, lavender. Actually has a great nose but the fruit on the palate is weak. A bit tart and acidic for me (2694 views)
 Tasted by Androurse on 5/3/2014 & rated 86 points: The wine looks yellow gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like grapefruit. It tastes like lemon, apricot and honey. The body is medium. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. (2473 views)
 Tasted by Astjerne on 3/31/2014 & rated 86 points: pretty good standard italian white (2378 views)
 Tasted by Snoman on 3/30/2014 & rated 91 points: Better than the 2011's by a longshot, shows a pale yellow-green in glass, light aromas of stone fruit. Palate opens with a medium-bodied blend of lemon/lime, Cranshaw melon and crunchy minerals, leaves with a lip-smacking medium finish. The 25% Verduzzo/75% Pinot Grigio blend offers richness and body in a very enjoyable and food-friendly result. 90+ (2196 views)
 Tasted by ckinv368 on 3/1/2014 & rated 87 points: A bit of bitter grapefruit rind, mixed with dandelions hints of orange and other bitter citrus and hints of butter. Notes similar to amarone. Very dry. (2009 views)
 Tasted by ItamarL on 1/7/2014 & rated 78 points: - very nice nose
- rough palate
- a bit un balance
(1988 views)
 Tasted by Mfsb89 on 12/11/2013 & rated 86 points: Floral más que Frutal. Con ciertos tonos cítricos que lo vuelven muy ligero y agradable al paladar. Quizás se desarrolle mejor en el tiempo. (2003 views)
 Tasted by CamWheeler on 11/18/2013 & rated 85 points: Grandi Marchi Italian Tasting (Sydney, Australia): Herb, citrus and pear. Soft palate that feels one dimensional and lacks detail. Short-mid length. (2467 views)
 Tasted by john.e.balmer on 9/30/2013 & rated 93 points: Sight: Some more alcohol. A little color.
Aroma: Woodsy, not much fruit, more floral. Honeysuckle or orchid
Taste: Deep taste, more woodsy and funky. Splash of citrus.
Body: More unctuous. Full body.
Finish: (1954 views)
 Tasted by YWG Wine Guy on 8/24/2013 & rated 89 points: Nicer than i was expecting and one to put on the radar. Will do well over next 1-2 summers also. Great lower price.

Nice crisp and zippy white with some tasty notes of light stone fruit/green apple/apricot. Transitions to a lighter bitter finish of grapefruit notes. All in balance and enjoy without food or with. Spicy food as well as food that is a little sweeter (american chineese?) matchs well. (1956 views)
 Tasted by Chateau du Fey 1994 on 7/7/2013 & rated 86 points: - Greenish color with medium forming legs and has flavours of apple and grapefruit - Nose is a little absent but this is a nice light wine fornthe price. (1978 views)
