100 pct Cortese had low aromatics of tart Apple & lemon. Dull, lifeless despite high acidity. Not sure if frizzante style was intended or accidental.

Good wine. I liked the slippery mouthfeel. Would definitely buy.

Light footed, with a heavy bolt of acidity. White flowers, dried thyme, lime, apples, and that classic Italian green almond presence. Low aromatics, but a great mid palate play. This is a food wine, and honestly thats how an Italian wine should be

2014 vintage. Pale gold in appearance. Honey and apple blossoms in the nose. Honeyed lime, apple, peach, with notes of thyme and almond. Notably bland at fridge temp, let it come up a few degrees before serving. Nice with grilled fish. 12% ABV.

A nice light white! Lemon on the nose and very acidic. Paired nicely with saltimbocca and risotto. Would get again.

Great tasting wine with or without good. Robust but smooth.
