Super intense minerality with tons of citrus flavors. Started a little short, but opened up a bit and actually showed some fleshiness and body for a change. I only got this on a closeout since I had one really good bottle years ago and have bought just a few since and always thought them uninteresting but keep trying from time to time. This was actually the best one since that first bottle. It is a nice Italian white, but is simply over priced for what it delivers to me. There are many one-note, but tasty, Italian whites for half the Black label price.

Pale lemon-yellow. Mineral nose of limestone alongside grapefruit and lime, chamomile and marzipan. Medium-bodied, mineral, with sharp acidity. Not an easy to like wine but extremely interesting. Long. Would like to see its aging.

Very pale lemon-yellow. Subtle nose of citrus fruit, chamomile and marzipan. Medium-bodied, silky, balanced with medium length. Will improve over the mid-term.
