BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Pale straw, green highlights. Clean, elegant, mineral, fairly complex, salty nose, with intense citrus-fruit character. Rich palate, with pink grapefruit and green apples, layered, complex, and long, with a lively finish. | 92

Andrew Jefford | Pale steel-gold. Fresh, lively, and sappy on the nose: attractive Vernaccia, with lots of clear, citrusy fruits. Fresh, soft, lively, and enticing on the palate, with lots of pretty fruit, grace, and charm. Lemon, orange, and bergamot: delicious and cleansing. A white you could drink by the double-magnum. | 91

Michael Palij | Attractive but subtle nose, showing tangerine, red apple, conference pear, and yellow plum. The wine is off-dry, and this, combined with the chalky finish creates a disjointed palate that doesn’t allow the fruit to show at its best. It lacks precision and focus. | 81
