Consistent with my notes from 12/26/16. Medium (+), bright yellow in color. Ripe grapefruit and white peach more prevalent on the nose. The flavors are clean and persistent through the long, slightly bitter and savory finish. This elegant beauty seems about five years younger than its vintage. It paired beautifully with broiled radicchio leaves stuffed with prosciutto, smoked mozzarella and drizzled with balsamic and olive oil.

This is a very good blend of 70% Ribolla Gialla, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Pinot Grigio. Having tasted all those varieties bottled by this producer individually, in this blend the Sauvignon-like qualities seem to dominate. Dry, crisp, with ripe citrus, herbs, and a savory minerality on the finish. High acidity, with unobtrusive alcohol (13%) and oak treatment. This is a really exciting wine and remarkably youthful, considering that this is the current vintage on release.

No formal notes. Quite rich and creamy showing notes of generous and ripe fruit. Enough acidity, a little oaky, round with good length. Drink or keep. (88-90?)
