Beautiful nose! Tropical fruit - papaya, passionfruit. A suggestion of mint leaf and key-lime pie (oak with pyrazines - from sauv blanc).
Medium body, feels 13%, screaming high acid that cleans out the slight phenolic bitterness (from Friulano). Lush and electric, all at the same time. Great integration, no bitterness, long finish.

Slightly disjointed, bitter note on first 5-6 min of air, but then comes together with lovely balance between acid, creamy finish, mineral streaks. Very versatile food wine. Not sure what the blend was this year.

Ordered off the list at Osteria Mozza. Nice minerality and freshness, slight bitter note. Nice wine, but way overpriced on this restaurant's menu.

Lots of power, crisp, generous, and showing a metallic bite at the back, which detracts from an otherwise interesting and appealing wine.
