  Consistent with previous bottle. Very citrusy and mineral driven on the nose and palate with nice acidity and a clean, crisp mouthfeel and spicy finish.

  Medium gold. Nose of lemon rind, white pepper with a hint of florals. Burst of underripe grapefruit on the palate followed by clean minerals, lemon rind, and peppery finish. Medium-high viscosity (think chardonnay) but medium-high acidity that makes it refreshing and food friendly. Lost some of its charm after being recorked and refrigerated overnight. At $20 a definite buy. 90+.

  Light golden color. Aromatic nose of citrus peel, minerals, clean laundry and a bit of honeysuckle. Similar flavors on the palate with moderate acid and a bit of back end spiciness as noted below. Medium to full bodied but very clean and crisp though. Enjoyable finish. A really well made white wine.

  Full yellow. Beautiful pure ethereal aromas are nevertheless mostly low-toned and not hugely expressive, with some more mundande cracker notes. Glycerin is abundant and combines with a 3-dimensionally pleasure-giving sweetness to put a smiling face on what is otherwise a more mineral expression of Fiano than is typically found further inland in Avellino. I didn't find this to be the revelation that Ian D'Agata did, but it does compare favorably with some of the more vaunted examples from the aforementioned DOCG.

  Drank at New Year's and after. Wonderful full flavor for a red wine drinker. Totally enjoyed it and would buy more.
