  Short-lived - all final 4 bottles consumed in '09 v heavily oxidised and undrinkable despite being properly cellared. Those consumed in '07 and early '08 mostly ok but odd oxidised one. Very nice when young though.

  I had no idea what to expect with this wine, having never tried Trebbiano and the wine being a gift. I was pleasantly surprised. Very refreshing, crips citrus flavor. A little tartness and acidity. Not too sweet, or noticable oak. Coats the mouth. Would be a great substitute for Sauvignon Blanc on a hot summer day or to enjoy with proscutto and mortadella on a summer day in Italy.

  Light straw colour. Decent acidity. Faint lemon and some sherbet. Rubbery finish. On day 2 the rubber subsides as does the fruit. This is clearly well-made and good now although am hoping this will improve. The rubber on the finish on day one does detract right now but this might fade over time.
