BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Pale straw. Clean, slightly confected, youthful nose, with tropical fruits, fresh herbs, and hints of minerality. Light yet fairly intense, mineral palate, with a citrus-fruit finish. | 86

Andrew Jefford | You can immediately see a color change after the Frascati and Orvieto wines, with very little yellow featuring in San Gimignano—these tend to be white, silver, or pale gold wines. This smells sweet, enticing, grapey, with some crystallized angelica charm. On the palate, it is poised and mouth-filling, with a faintly perfumed style and fair weight and depth. Attractive wine. | 88

Michael Palij | Pale straw color, medium intensity nose with notes of barley sugar, Bartlett pear, and gala apple. The palate is clumsy, with a dull streak of acidity and little fruit on the finish. | 79
