  Some may call this " interesting' or even "intellectual", but I deem it "Not a wine for drinking." I have dined by the Ligurian Sea beneath the cliffs and loved the wine and seafood. This 2005 version does not recall that experience. Multiple bottles (all in good condition with good color etc.. all from same source) have shown the same hostile, peppery, rotten vegetable character. Tasted blind, one might not identify this as wine, but perhaps a "natural" household cleaning product. One would have to be very drunk to like this. Serve very cold to those you do not like.

  Very dry, herbaceous, and full of vegetable flavors -- which is not sign of a flaw, just the characteristics of the varietal. I think this would be excellent with vegetables or a salad, but it is not for those who light fruit-forward wines

  This had a very unusual taste, with elements of bitter herbs and petrolem. It was drunk with shellfish.

  My first Pigato. Very peculiar wine. Herbacious wine. Very distinct, black pepper finish with a little heat, unusual for a white wine. Great to taste for the experience, did not wow me. Need to try with some pesto, or other Ligurian food.
