Liked this. Honeyed fruits, a touch oxidised, and close to fully mature. There's an absence of zippy sweet minerals but I like the elderstatesman character.

Still a terrific, rich Vermentino. (2/23/2019) Intense golden for such a young wine. Hint of papaya, pineapple and other tropical fruits, plus pear and maybe peach, yet dry and food-friendly. More round than soft. Surprisingly full-bodied. Watch out, Chardonnay: You have met your match!

perhaps this bottle was not stored properly prior to being placed on winebid as it tasted on the verge of being over the hill. very golden color with a flatness. however, no explicit signs of being spoiled.

Surprising golden color, grapefruit, lemon and some tropical notes. An unusual but tasty Vermentino. Medium acidity sets are his apart a bit from mainland Italian V’s more acidic style and keeps wine from scoring higher. Good with variety of foods or as aperitif

Nice, light white, with good minerality and acidity. Great with lemon/garlic/parsley grilled shrimp. Also surprisingly good with red pepper hummus (snack while cooking). Were told to pair with seafood - definitely a good call.

Tasted at the Tre Bicchieri NYC event. Light in texture and bouquet with pear, grapefruit and citrus. Medium+ acidity. Modest minerality. A pleasant summertime quaffer or with fresh seafood.

Light yellow. Reminds of a Gewürztraminer with its spicy and perfumed aromas. Soft, fruity and delicious on the palate, with a slightly bitter finish.

One week (!) after opening, this wine was still shining. For me that's an extra bonus point, 92 therefore. Insane value.

Again fabulous. One of the best trouvailles for a white food wine I ever encountered.

Drink this wine with the right kind of food and it is utterly fantastic. We had this with grilled sardines wrapped in pancetta and the combination was mindblowing. The dryness, minerality and personality of this wine all melted together with the food. Maybe the best characteristic of this wine is that it is not trying to be somebody else. Very impressed, but do drink it with food.
