  Fonte Canale Vertical with Cristiana Tiberio & Levi Dalton: The nose was darker, richer and more pronounced than the previous wines in this flight, showing a mix of ripe apple and peach, giving way to hints of hazelnut, sage, and iodine. On the palate, I found silky textures on a medium-bodied frame, showing rich yellow stone fruits with a glimmer of subtle spice, sweet-and-savory herbs and minerals, in a wonderfully expressive display. The finish was long and satiating, with soft ripe apple tones tapering off among resonating minerals and hints of spice. The 2012 is drinking beautifully today.

  Drinking well. Some of its exuberance has mellowed a bit with age.

  This is a serious white wine. The nose evokes citrus, spice, and flowers. On the palate, it is larger than I expected from the nose. Juicy acidity of citrus meets a smooth roundness of spice -- but it isn't an oak spice. Long finish where Trebbiano's almond notes really strut their stuff. Really lovely expression of Trebbiano.

  This was pretty tasty and a nice diversion from our usual Chablis, dry Riesling, Chenin, Verdicchio, etc. Tart and dry with a bit of a chalky texture. Some wet stone and salinity. Hard to identify the fruit but I would say green/yellow apple, and maybe a bit of tangerine/orange. A bit tangy.
