Tim Atkin: Light, pale straw. Light, aromatic, peardroppy style. Good, refeshing Vernaccia, with tangy acidity and freshness and lift. Floral, yeasty, well balanced 15.5
Nicolas Belfrage: 1 = color of water and 9 = deep gold: Col 1.5. Unfortunate position, after the best wine of the tasting [Valentini Trebbiano d’Abruzzo 2007]. Clean and well made without great character or interest. Perfectly drinkable without being special 14
Alex Hunt: Fairly neutral nose, but a little bit of white peach and almond stick their kernels above the parapet. The palate shows excellent grip, intensity, and balance for the variety; there is a real breadth and generosity, without going anywhere near overripeness or obvious winemaking tricks. Really accomplished Vernaccia 15.5
