Southern Italy: Interesting nose because behind the fruits there is a slightly volatile complexity; honeyed solvent gasoline thing I can't quite pin down. It made me anticipate a much richer and sweeter palate. This was too warm so the EtOH really came out over the apple/peach/licorice nose. Very good.

This is the girl you hang out with on Tuesday night, because she's the only one available, and while you're out with her, say about 1AM, and you've had a hell of a night, really laughing and digging everything and no tension like there is with some of the better looking girls you know, and you realize that she's got all sorts of endearing quirks, stuff she's into and ways that she's developed her personality, and just before you go to bed, you think... damn, why isn't she my girlfriend?
Pineapple & lemon & lots more that I couldn't quite put my finger on. It's rare that half a bottle is gone before I've really started examining a wine, but that happened here. Delicious with prosciutto, delicious with caprese, delicious with grilled sardines.

Deep golden yellow in colour, very aromatic nose of citrus fruits, honey and pear. Very much agree with previous comments with regards to oily mouthfeel and Riesling like. On the palate more citrus fruit and pineapple, a good balance between sweetness and acidity. The wine has a rather impressive finish and went great with tuna steaks and some med-veg. Superb value for money!

Initially drunk cold but with warmth this really opened up into a rich wine. Floral, lime nose, some honey and tropical notes and a very subtle rubberyness. The palate has a slightly oily mouthfeel and shows blossoms of citrus fruit and good acidity. Maybe a little too much acid on the finish, but at this price excellent value.

Yellow-golden color. Perfumy nose of apricots, citrus fruits, Granny Smith apples. Reminds me a bit of young Riesling. Flavors reverberate on the palate. First the apricot fruit dominates, then very citric flavors kick in with pronounced acidity and a pronounced canned pear aroma. Finishes on a slightly bitter grapefruit aroma. Good length. A simplistic, but clean and refreshing wine. A very good value at about 5€. Drink now.

Aromatic and fruity nose with pear and honey that promises so much that makes the palate under-deliver. You get that sweet pear but mid-palate and finish are dominated by bitterness. Nice acidity that makes this a good summer wine and fatty/spicy food, actually I'd recommend to only drink this wine with food. The bitterness is overbearing without it. Good value for the price.

Nice rich yellowish colour in the glass. Restraint bouquet at first, opened up later on to reveal some peach. Some bitterness at the end, long finish. Interesting.

Still drinking decently. Should be dead, but it's not. Dry, slight petroleum undertones, light fruit. Mild and nice. Easy drinking

Unique wine. Deep, golden color. Explosive nose of caramel, vanilla and faintly of citrus fruit. Full-bodied, round texture, though lacking acidity.
