  August 9, 2022 - This bottle really shined - I think the last 2 years (almost) really did some good. mjwstickings full description and score is spot on.

  October 2, 2021 - This is a very good, if just short of 90-level excellence, expression of one of Campania's ancient white varietals, from Sannio, just north of Naples. It has a full, complex nose of melon, peach, pineapple, lemon-lime, apple, minerals, and nuts, and while some of the fruit aromas translate into flavour, the palate shows the leaner characteristics of the varietal, with salty minerality, almond nuttiness, and tart citrus acidity, all quite dry and, at this stage, relatively tannic. I'd say it's just now entering its prime, which seems like it could be quite long -- maybe a year or two could push it to 90 with some softening, though of course it's the interplay of sour and mineral notes, the core around which the fleshier fruit and savoury nutty elements orbit, that really makes Campania whites what they are. From one of the region's best and most reputable producers, this hits the mark.

  August 23, 2021 - Citrus, pear, apple and some smokiness bite. Went well with a can of sardines in olive oil and a Greek Salad with Feta. Fries on the side.

  May 5, 2021 - Slo-oxed for 10 minutes, chilled. A clear light straw-yellow. Very minerally on the nose. The palate was very mineral, very lemon, and very acidic. One of many options for an Italian white with this profile. Does the job for $14 (NY City price). Will hold.
