Very close to a good Chablis. A bit less citrusy maybe. Delicious.

Loads of minerality, citrus, tree fruit, underripe apple, anise, fresh cut flowers and great acid. This rocks.

100% Carricante from Sicily. Bright citrus, sea water- tastes like the ocean. Lingering almond notes as it warms. I drank it with Vietnamese food but it’s screaming for fish. $22

Tight, zippy, kinetic. Minerality is very intense. Despite feeling a tad stingy and thin for Tascante, this is fine quality and excellent with all manner of seafood.

Crisp clean refreshing, minerals, green apple citrus but not over pouring. Very good with food and by itself.

Strange aromas & confusing expressions when first opened (dusty library books?), but this wine settled down nicely into a light, refreshing read. Unsweetened cranberry and soft minerality paired with a kiss of baking spices (mostly clove) & a hint of black pepper on the pallet. Really liked it, but it was unexpected.

2019. Crisp and mineral and went great with olive sourdough with ricotta, Sicilian olives, Hungarian goathorn peppers, and salumi.
