  Fresh & crisp, with hints of lemon, citrus, minerals. Very muted aromas, almost nothing on the nose. Easy drinking, a good summer white. Good value for $11. Would buy again.

  (6/2015) Fresh scents of citrus, pear, mineral and sweet pea. Very clean on the palate with a long, lemon-filled flavor and a mouth-watering finish that lasts for minutes
  The wine looks yellow gold colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like lemon, pear and mineral.

  Kind of what we expect from a Vernaccia. It is a little oxidized and not all that expressive. Deep golden color. The nose is shy and non distinct. The taste on the palate is dry and gritty peach skin and apricot pit. Medium bodied. Unusually non acidic for an Italian wine. Some time in the glass and swirling helps bring some life to the flavors and aromas. By the finish some earthy, leafy orange rind flavors accompany the unripe peach and mild citrus flavors.

  Deep yellow. Not much happening aromatically. Medium weight and mouth feel, flavors of citrus, mint, and nuts. Unexciting with an oxidative note that I don't like.
