The nose was floral with crisp green apple, hints of wild herbs, lemon zest, and moist mineral tones. On the palate, I found soft textures with a mix of sweet-and-savory stone fruits, saline-minerals, hints of lime and wonderfully balanced acidity. The finish was long, showing a mix of zesty acids with hints of spice, minerals and crisp green apple. This is already so easy to like.
The nose was wonderfully fresh, with crushed stone dust, young peach, smoky florals, and hints of undergrowth, with an underlying richness that is still holding back. On the palate, I found silky textures with an almost-oily feel, with zesty minerals up front, giving way to citrus-infused young peach and spice, as yellow inner floral tones developed. The finish was long, resonating on saturating minerals and spices, with lasting notes of tart, cheek-puckering green apple. This wine simply needs time in the cellar to blossom.
The nose was deeply expressive, showing more like a steely white Burg than what you’d expect from an Italian Bianco. Here I found a display of rich white stone fruits, savory minerals, rubbed sage, sea air, and hints of spice. On the palate, I found round textures on a medium-bodied frame, showing savory minerals, framing green apple, young peach, and saline-infused yellow citrus. The finish was long, with saturating minerals tones, resonating tart apple acidity, hints of lemon peel, and inner florals.
The nose was fresh with underlying richness, showing young peach accentuated by yellow florals, saline-minerality, and marine soil tones. On the palate, I found soft, enveloping textures, offset by a stunning mix of minerals and acidity, with a cool-toned persona, showing ripe apple, hints of green citrus, spice and inner floral tones. The finish was subtle yet long, as resonating acidity and minerals soaked the senses over hints of ripe pit fruits and inner florals.
The nose was restrained and almost savory, showing pretty floral tones, young peach, hints of caraway, and floral undergrowth. On the palate, I found soft textures, giving way to ripe apple infused with saline minerals, as hints of lemon and sweet herbs developed toward the finale. The finish was long with a twang of tart green apple, lasting minerals and spice. The 2013 is just starting to enter its early drinking window.
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.
