  Bright, zesty nose, gardenia, acacia, with mineral depth. Texturally very tight and will get better over time. Palate is charged with acidity, some honeysuckle, nettles and fresh fennel. Lovely wine.

  beautifully refined, restrained and silky with flavors of salty lemons, seawater and volcanic minerals. Long and delicious on the finish with taut intensity and a mineral-driven complexity just emerging. Improved dramatically in the glass and this should vastly improve as it develops over the next 5-7 years. Just about my favorite Italian white. At Lucciola's, UWS. 92+

  Pale gold. Muted/ discrete nose. Grapefuit notes on the palate with pithy barely ripe stone fruit and some salinity. But nothing floral or perfumed. Found it hard to identify. A beautiful texture in the mouth. Listed as 12.5% but seems weightier than that. Long, with a pleasant slight bitterness on the very back end. Has a certain understated grace and much more restraint than I expected. My first experience with this wine.
