This was really, really good. Developing a bit of a darker hue but still plenty of crisp citrus to it. But age has taken off any edge to it, rounded it out. Delicious.

This wine has developed beautifully in the 16 months since I tasted it last (5/16 - 91 points). The wine is still light yellow in color and light in body, but that's where the similarities stop: this wine has gotten more complex and sophisticated with time. The nose is a lovely combination of orange peel and lime, with a crisp note of ocean air. Lemon now leads the tastes, quickly followed by green apple and crushed rock, with a finish …

Medium to dark lemon color with hints of gold, slightly cloudy. Killer nose of lemon zest, citrus, crushed rock, talcum, white florals. Similar flavors on the palate with intense lemon and mineral driven flavors. Medium+ acid, slightly grippy mouthfeel for a white wine. Layered and balanced on the finish. Fantastic wine and paired perfectly with baked red snapper.

A little less lightning than the previous bottle mentioned below, but still tasty. May have to get a third to break the tie.

A blend of Pinot Grigio and Greco, this is all about lemon and orange zest. The citrus aromas come through with clarity and intensity, and carry through to the palate along with hay, peach and stone notes backed up by bright, refreshing acidity. Not at all what I would have expected for a glass of (mostly) Pinot Grigio, and a wonderfully satisfying surprise.

This is not yo' momma's pinot grigio. With a viscous texture, this wine coats the mouth with citrus pith and petrol on a background of crackling electricity and mouthwatering acidity. There's a split second on entry when it reminds you of pinot gris/grigio, but then it swerves off to wine-geek-land with such a refreshing, mineral-laden punch to the face, that it's more like an Italian pinot grigio had a child with a rustic French SB. It doesn't have quite the …

Very interesting CA-Italy combo – I really liked it. Quite a bit of body and mouthfeel, and real verve. The price point of $35 makes it a little too pricey for me to stock up on, but will certainly seek out other wines of theirs (esp annia) from time to time.

Light bodied, with prominent citrus notes and piercing acidity. Just enough sweetness in the finish to keep this nicely balanced. Dangerously quaffable and a terrific value.

This was quite good. Crisp and lean. Mineral driven style.

A taut gris blend showing its greco grip, green and fresh in a good way if not too chilled.

A charming and refreshing Italian-blend that should be drunk on a warm day with a light meal. Light yellow in color, light in body, nose of orange peel and pear. Tastes of green apple, lemon, lime, and saline, with a somewhat bracing finish (though the acidity seems under control). Blend of 69% Pinot Grigio and 31% Greco. 12.8% alcohol. Wait a year if you can, but this is awfully good now (and a solid value).

Key lime pie: lime zest aciditiy with a beautiful creaminess that keep it from being puckeringly sour. Was very nice with lox and bagels.

We took this bottle to Scarpetta on the LV Strip last night to share as an opening bottle with a couple friends. The restrained styled of this delicious white paired wonderfully with some of the seafood oriented appetizers. The bottle was quickly drained as the lower ABV and easy summer drinkability made it a hit. Kudos Dan, we can get enough of these Italian white blends you are doing...

Agree with Dans note that this is pretty unique. Straw/light gold color, with a little cloudiness to it. First part is definitely the Pinot Grigio, then the acidity is balanced nicely and the fresh finish lingers. Would be really nice on a warm summer afternoon
