Acclaim
“Bright, light yellow; aromas of freshly cut grass, snap pea, chervil and basil. Medium bodied, this offers textbook varietal character, very good acidity, nice harmony and a well-balanced, clean finish of moderate length. I admire the typicity of this wine along with the price/quality relationship. Straightforward.”
— Tom Hyland's Guide to Italian Wines, Mar 2022
“The nose is rather restrained but eventually reveals delicate aromas recalling white spring flowers and citrus. The crisp palate offers suggestions of ripe peach and grapefruit alongside bright acidity before a hint of tang and saline signal the close.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Oct 2021
