 Tasted by Tim Heaton on 7/11/2020 flawed bottle: Final bottle, and while the fruit still has a good amount of bright, deep fruit aromas, there's also a TCA component. Sigh. NR

 Tasted by rocknroller on 7/8/2018 & rated 91 points: Monthly Tasting Group: Interesting Whites (ABC) at Heirloom (Heirloom, St.Paul, MN): Small pour. Would have liked to get more of this. Very crisp and fresh, tart green and tropical fruits, white flowers, nicely defined and lifted. (2207 views)
 Tasted by chcook on 6/14/2017: PNP. cork wet to top. this is light in style, but has a little fatness in the midpalate that is buoyed by acid. refreshing enough but nothing special. was not a great match with our monkfish peas and prosciutto

After a week in the fridge this has picked up some weight and took on a salinity that I find very nice. Maybe just needs a little time in bottle or air if served now (2323 views)
 Tasted by Bob H on 11/20/2016: Light golden-colored in the glass; "crisp" nose.

Sweet and sour white fruits, good acidity here and nice persistence. Very likable and food-friendly, but also able to stand on it's own. (2623 views)
 Tasted by Bob H on 10/30/2016: Light yellow in the glass, with a nice minerality on the nose.

Brisk and light-bodied on the palate, some saline notes as well, and decent acidity & length on the finish. I posted a note yesterday where I mentioned the benefits of "stepping up" (in that case with respect to Pepiere's Clos des Briords) - I would make the same point here, as I usually find the Fiore is worth the additional cost when compared to their Normale.

 Tasted by Tim Heaton on 5/21/2016: Opened on Tuesday, probably served too cold, because I really could not find much to enjoy. Fast forward to Saturday, with the time in between spent in the fridge, and this is ready. Really comes across more as a French white (read: Chablis) than a Tuscan white. Purchased at Enoteca Corsi (€16) in San Gimignano on the recommendation of the owner. I will look for this when I'm back in the states; this will easily cellar for 1-2 years. 13,5% abv. (resolved). highly recommended

Served non-blind.

 Tasted by Bob H on 5/20/2016: Similar in color to the Collestefano Verdicchio; fairly neutral nose on opening.

Medium-bodied white, with good persistence. Decent acidity, but less prominent than the other three wines I just tasted, so this wine doesn't come across quite as lively. Good, but I may need to try this "solo" to properly judge it's merits, as it's style is overshadowed right now by the previous wines. (1378 views)
