I really wanted to like this but it fell flat for me on a variety of levels. Drinkable and mildly enjoyable but not far beyond that. More detailed review of this bottle on my blog:
Still looking for an Italian white that I really ever want to buy twice. Almonds, citrus and honey. some minerality with a waxiness. Paid $19, drinks like $10-$12.

Sappy guava and Sauvignon blanc like notes of gooseberries and lemon lime acidity. Slightly oily with grippy rounded preserved plum like aftertaste.

served chilled. consistent with previous notes: yellow fruit, mineral and perhaps slightly spicy, dry lemon citrus finish.
