February 14, 2019 - Wonderful wine. still lots of tanins which i Guess would make it good for the cellar at least 2-3 more years. had it With lobster and shrimps which perhaps was not the best combination. Unfortunately the last bottle in my cellar.
March 7, 2016 - still young , smoke , citrus , mineral , on the palate full bodied , lime , great acidity and quite long finish
March 5, 2016 - Unfortunately it was my last bottle in my cellar..
Pale straw colour, consistent.
On the nose smoke, wet stone, a little hydrocarbons and some citrus fruits.
In the mouth a lot of lime and lemon, butter and some honey; very fresh end.
Perfectly balanced, good structure with interesting complexity.
very nice bottle!
November 28, 2015 - Tanto lime e pietra focaia. Lungo e bilanciato.
May 27, 2015 - Consistent with previous note.
September 24, 2014 - Popped and poured. Pale straw colour. Very nice – certainly among the best Italian whites I’ve had. Citrus fruit, floral scents, wet stone, butter and smoke on the nose and palate. Perfectly balanced – not the most powerful, nor the most complex – just smooth drinking all the way. Finishes off with a refreshing burst of acidity. Holds its own against many Côte d’Or whites that will set you back at least twice as much. Delicious already, but there’s more than enough structure here for successful mid-term aging – I wouldn't be surprised if this improves even further over the next three to four years (91-92 points).
September 21, 2014 - Vinoblesse Wine Tasting (Ernst Sillem Hoeve, Den Dolder, NL): Apple, hint of reduction, pear, good intensity, has real cut and drive.
September 19, 2014 - Incredibly fresh, crisp, minerally, almost aspirin flavored ( in a good way?). Very nice.
August 25, 2014 - Aeolian Sailing Trip & a bit of Etna; 8/22/2014-8/31/2014 (Eolian Islands): Pretty and pure wine, mineral, firm and with good depth. Green fruit, apple, lime and with a waxy feel to it . Has Chenin blanc "light bitterness" to it. 91 and well worth it.
June 23, 2014 - 12 months on lees, french oak
nose - lemons, t. oatmeal, vanilla, t. floral - like a really good Burgundy
structured, acidic
some nuttiness at the end
Needs time - lots of potential
very fine
