"This is almost always one of Italy’s top twenty-thirty white wines of the year, but almost better than its sublime quality is its price tag, which, for a wine of this quality level is really too low. Pure and precise, with notes of pear, peach, hazelnut, and menthol dominating on the nose and in the mouth, it is complicated by hints of minerals, lime, sage that help turn it into something profound. Boasting lovely balance, the pleasant, honeyed and citrusy finish offers a distinctly refreshing saline bite that will have you looking for food. Drinking window: 2021-2029."
