  The wine is clear and bright with a pale lemon colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium intensity aromas of white pepper, dried green apples, pyrazine and hints of peaches. The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium acidity. It has a medium alcohol and a medium body. It has medium(+) intensity flavours of white pepper, green apples, pyrazine and hints of peaches. The finish is medium(+).
  
  It is a very good quality wine with a decent fruit concentration and finish. It also achieves a nice overall balance, but it lacks some complexity in the nose to be considered a better wine. Can drink now, but it has enough fruit concentration and just enough acidity to be kept for maybe 1-2 years more, it may even develop hints of tertiary aromas, but it is unlikely to improve its complexity significatively.

  Bright straw in color, this wine showed lemon, apple cider, white stone fruit and minerals on the nose. The mouth feel brought spicy herbs, flowers and more minerals. The finish had decent length with copious levels of acidity framing the fruit and minerals.
  
  Purchased for $12.50US, this is an enjoyable Italian white from a quality producer that I've enjoyed over many vintages.
