Verbiage“Delicate spring flower and yellow stone fruit scents gently lead the way in this savory, structured white. The generous, balanced palate is more expressive, offering ripe peach, apricot, yellow apple, dried herb and bitter almond flavors alongside tangy acidity. Energizing mineral and ginger notes brighten the finish.” –Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Jul. 1, 2018 |

| Il Feuduccio | Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo DOC | 2017 | Vinous | 01/06/2018 | 90 | ||||||
Verbiage“Bright pink. Chamomile, minerals, and herbs. A relatively soft, inviting wine, with aromas and flavors of plum, strawberry and almond notes. Fresh, round and well-balanced on the finish. As always, this estate is remarkably adept at producing easy to drink wines that have above average depth and concentration for their price and wine category. Well done.” -Ian D’Agata, Vinous, Jun. 1, 2018 |
