Solid for mixed appetizers. A touch oxidized but retains freshness. — 3 years ago

A great bargain at this price!!!! Highly rated by Wine Spectator! Deep ruby with aromas of dark cherry, stewed fruits, forest floor. Rich and Lucious on the blood with a long finish. Give it 20-30 minutes to open up. If you happen to be near Bologna, be sure to visit the winery as it is a great run family winery. — 6 months ago

Fizzy orange wine from Emilia-Romagna! So fun. Bone dry. Sour strawberry lemon zest. Bottle cap and beautiful label — 2 years ago

With Podere Pradarolo, it’s all extreme. Extremely long macerations for all the whites and Rose’s. Ex Alba sees 45 days on its Trebbiano skins then heads to the barrels. This is less than a fourth the time Vej sees on skins by the way.

I prefer Ex Alba. It’s less hops and more florals. Spiced citrus bitter peppery apple cider vinegar tea. — 4 years ago

Very old white wine. Golden hue. Smells a bit like golden delicious apples, Bartlett pear, honey and sweetened lemon. Flavors are hint oxidized, but still tart and bright. Plenty of citrus. Lots of tannin. This is adventurous and delicious white. Wonder what it was like closer to 2014. At this stage it’s a bit like my favorite kind of Chardonnay. Smooth and round, but zippy too. — 9 months ago
