Bruno Besa | Pale straw. Clean and mineral nose, with a delicate floral, citrus-fruit character, along with hints of nuts, fresh herbs, and crushed stones. Clean, mineral, lively palate, if slightly short. | 87

Andrew Jefford | Steel silver-gold. Haunting fennel scents, with other crushed seeds, too; some character from lees here? A sizable aromatic presence after the scrupulous neutrality of Frascati and Orvieto. Quite a weighty example of Vernaccia, with concentrated fruit but a little less aromatic finesse than the best of its peers. | 86

Michael Palij | Pale straw color, notes of fennel, bay, candle wax, and ripe pear on the nose. The finish shows some intensity, but the acidity dominates the back of the palate, and the wine is simple. | 80
