Way too young, but still delicious. At this point, it's just fruit, dusty earth, and a slight herbal bite.

Jul 27th, 2017Hard to confuse this for anything other than vermentino. Shows the volcanic soils well. Has a petrol quality I love, but unlike what you would find in Mosel Riesling. Classy juice!

Absolutely fantastic. Have friends tasting blind and they thought it was a Barolo with age.
This was singing and just perfect. Earthy, leather and touch of VA, dark fruits with garrigue, the palate is so alive and balanced. Quite refined for Arena.
