Needs a while to open up, but when it does the nose shows great complexity still dominated by primary and secondary notes even after 10 years: apricot, citron peel, cream, honey, honeysuckle and hints of jasmine, wet stones and pineapple. Round and refreshing on the palate, we’ll structured body and very long finish of apricot, citrus, honey and a mineral note to close.

Univinum wine fair (@EDEKA Ueltzhöfer, Heilbronn): *** Short notes and impressions from a wine fair *** My friends were quite enthusiastic about this wine. Nice, ripe pear and mellow apple on the nose. Dry, salty mineral notes, ripe fruit. For me it lacks a bit of complexity and length. PQR is highly questionable. NR.

floral and tropical fruit nose. It's a fuller styler but the there's enough acidity and sea saline to keep things balanced and highly enjoyable. superb example from the amalfi coast and the finest wine that Marisa Cuomo produces. I love it

93-94. As good as last time I tasted. Special wine. Great depth of fruit, but balanced with salinity, minerals and acid. Light Oyster shell...cam tell grapes grown near the sea. Lush and long, long finish. Tropical fruits which slowly fade into the background. Golden hue. Heavier and viscous wine, but not clawing. A joy to drink. Punches well above its price point. Always buy if find.

Dinner w/ The Wine Group (Antipasto at our place; Dinner at Gloo Bistro): Our Wine Group consumed two bottles of this wonderful wine with a fine spread of antipasto, before going out to dinner. Agree with NNV, "Rich, round, pronounced fruit, tropical, lush, but balanced with enough acidity to make it very pleasant." An incredible blend of 3 native Italian grapes: Fenile, Ginestra and Ripoli. A solid "go-to" Italian white.

Really like this wine. Very easy to drink. Rich, round, pronounced fruit, tropical, lush, but balanced with enough acidity to make it very pleasant. Not terribly cerebral or intense but just very harmonious and a pleasure to drink. Big wine but delicate enough that will not overpower food. An exciting and gorgeous wine to try.

Just coravined an ounce. From Campania I would have expected Falanghina, Greco or Fiano to make up most of the blend. But this is three grapes I never heard of: 30% Fenile, 30% Ginestra and 40% Ripoli. So I haven't a clue what to expect from this. Floral and stone fruit on the nose. Herbal and stone fruit on the palate. Medium + body and acidity. Fairly long finish. This was PNP; should try some aeration next time. It grew on me.

Full bodied, buttery, yet silky smooth. Incredibly aromatic with tropical fruit and macadamia nuts. Almost a glycerin texture
Great with sea bass and asian vegetables, and with seafood pasta, and with salmon. Probably would be great with roasted chicken or heavier foods as well.
I'm going to buy a bunch more.

Degustato alla cieca. Erba falciata, fiori bianchi, salvia e residuo zuccherino sensibile. Bevuta esotica, e finale citrino molto persistente. Davvero elegante e raffinato
