Beautiful with brisk acidity. For the long haul. — 6 years ago
I was thinking Corton-Charlemagne all night drinking this concentrated yet airy Friulian interpretation of Burgundies finest white wines. Enzo Pontoni is a master on so many levels and even in this rather warm vintage, his wines capture true complexity and multiple layers of flavour. No rush here. — 6 years ago
Just beautiful and while still infant, proving great interest and grace. Piercing acidity, gooseberries and stone fruits are framed by fine tuned barrels, finishing dry, lengthy and layered. 93+ — 6 years ago
First vintage made from 100% Sangiovese. All for the better! — 6 years ago
Give it 3-6 more years and this will be another 100-pointer in your cellar. Trust me! — 6 years ago
A great achievement and by far the best VP from here so far. Vibrating. — 6 years ago
Dusty tannins are intervowen with fresh red berries, tobacco and white stones. Holds structure for the long haul. Impressive. — 6 years ago
Improving nicely but slowly. Way better than on release. But patience will be rewarded. Needs another few years. — 6 years ago
Pure yet obviously affected in a good way by its 6 months of Amphora upbringing. Sturdy tannins, fine red berries, vague minerality and good overall balance. — 6 years ago
