Bruno Besa | Straw yellow. Restrained and refined mineral nose, with mature pears, apples, fresh basil, and wet-stones minerality. Broad palate, firm and complex minerality, with clean, fresh herbs and a lemon-peel finish. | 91
Andrew Jefford | Bright, pale gold; green-white. Clean, fresh, and pungent, full of rubbed almond and hazel, with some leafy freshness, too. Even a touch of pine here. Lively and fresh on the palate, with the same characters the aromas sketched out; mouth- filling, vivid, and long. Pristine and allusive. Very good Orvieto, and a lovely wine to drink either on its own or with food. | 89
Michael Palij | Appealing nose, with unoaked but complex characters including nectarine, melon, red apple, peach, and acacia. The finish is long and rich, with plenty of fruit. | 85
