A very strong showing... Still bright and fresh with excellent balance, mature aromatics and decent finish. I will look for this wine again. Excellent value.

Color: Pale gold hues with slight light green tinge. Nose: Butter, some crisp green apple, and some light minerality. Flavor: immediate butteriness followed by crisp acid - the ever present golden pear, star fruit. A definite tropical touch. By the middle, the butter element dissipates entirely, and the acid component remains. Finish is just as crisp as the start. Linger as 20 or so seconds. Medium bodied, off try.
Don't do too many Italian whites but this one intrigues. Good to go after opening, but recommended to serve this bottle not too chilled. As the bottle goes on, the tropical element really begins to stand out and the butteriness from the malolactic fermentation sits back. Good QPR but likely to not have much more of a shelf life so appreciate this bottle sooner rather than later.

Crisp. Not overly tart. No oak. Great cold but thickens and opens up a little with when it approaches room temperature.

Crisp and layered. Apples, almond, hay, honey, a touch of nutmeg. Earth and stone

Similar to my previous notes, though the wine has taken on creamier and more lemon citrus overtones.
