Drinks like a cross between a Chardonnay and SB. Focused acid, lemon rind and matchstick. Lacks mid palate and no back palate.

Nice to have another vintage of this. Quite crisp and precise, but significantly more body than you might first expect for an Italian alpine wine. Delicious.

Almost too floral and big. 13.5%. A little musky. Faint cork but not corked an oxymoron I know but they use a composite cork. Rose pedals touch bitter. Great with my lobster and pea gnocchi. Not something I need to buy and put in my cellar. Lasted in the fridge for 2 days and then it falls of impressive.
