I had this over three days. Frankly, there’s little more I could ask for from a Mediterranean white at this price point. The nose speaks of place—sea and salt with faint floral elements and white stone fruits. The palate follows it—the salt is at the forefront, but around the edges there is almond skin, Asian pear, orange and lemon rind. The finish lingers nicely.
The acidity buoys the wine and for me is the real highlight (I would peg it at medium-plus).
This wine would work wonderfully with fish and white meats.

Light yellow-golden. Nose of newly-mown hay coupled with young citrus. The pulpy citrus character carries forward in the taste. A wine of considerable acidity plus a bit of minerality. Gets the juices going in the mouth.

Med (+) straw with a gold hue. Med (+) aromas of yellow apple, lemon peel, orange zest, tart white peach, fragrant white flowers and fresh herbs. No oak. Dry, with med (+) acidity and med alcohol (13%). The palate is consistent with the nose, but with much more intensity to the citrus and mineral components. Med-bodied, with a slightly bitter grapefruit zest, sea salt and wet stone finish. It is drinking nicely and will certainly last for many years, given its structure. Great QPR.

Simple but easy and of quality. This is basically the definition of "easy, harmless white wine". Some body but still plays light and fresh. some complexity on the nose, but little on the palate.

PnP. Have gone through the better part of a case since release, and I like, but don't love this vintage. Comes across as light>medium body, as such, I'm missing some (balanced) fruit/depth I typically find in the middle palate. Combined with the youthful, somewhat aggressive acidity, I'm not terribly happy with the overall balance. That said, another year of rest could very well help in these regards. 13,0% abv., drink thru 2024. recommended
Medium straw, quite aromatic. Notes of honeysuckle (almost mead-like) and tropical fruits on the nose. Wonderfully balanced with a bit of sweetness and nice acidity, lemons and Granny Smiths on the palate. Nice length, leaving a citrusy impression with a hint of minerality on the finish. This wine is soft and smooth, very easy drinking. Delicious summer wine. QPR is very high.

Straw. White fruits, citrus and almost salty minerality in the aftertaste. For now I like this entry level white more than their Fiano Pietracalda. Simple, but intense, yet light and delicious. 5/12/16/6. -2022

Orange blossom, honeysuckle and tropical fruit aromas lead the nose. On the bright palate, tangy acidity carries white peach and citrus flavours while a hint of Mediterranean herb marks the close.

Ripe white peach, pear, apple orange peel. Pretty simple; but full bodied. Acid is mostly gone. Probably a bit over the hill.

Lovely round juicy fruit, cantelope mostly, nice mouthfeel, long finish with balanced acidity. I would get this again.
