“This Verdicchio exudes a subtle yet intriguing nose with a sea-salt note, crushed stone and hints of lemon oil. Needing time to develop the wine shows aromas of white peach, pear and lily as it opens. The mouthwatering acidity, coupled with its lean and mineral character, captivates the palate and urges you to put it in the cellar for a few more years. Drink 2025–2048.” — Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast, May 2024

“A floral, herbaceous nose features notes of sage, oregano, tomato, roses and peonies. On the palate, a dash of balsamic and a sprinkle of pepper add further nuance to the waltz of savory and floral. Tannins emphasize the earthiness, while the acid introduces a fruit element that is both sweet and tart.” — Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, May 2024

“The nose is floral and earthy, with a hint of tart berries that swells on the palate but doesn’t entirely overwhelm an enduring, potent earthiness. Acid shines through a dense forest of taut tannins, like sunlight through birch trees.” — Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, May 2024

“This fun and vibrant white weaves a tapestry of aromas and flavors that immediately capture one’s attention. Pineapple, roasted citrus, gardenia and crushed stone shine from nose to palate with a pleasant bitterness on the extended finish.” — Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast, May 2024

“Popping out of the glass like a gymnast doing a flip, this bright white opens with aromas of passion fruit, grapefruit and freshly chopped mixed green herbs. Vibrant with zippy acidity that lifts the palate showing flavors of mixed citrus and a flintly minerality.” — Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast, May 2024

“Blackberry compote, wildberry jam and fresh cracked pepper aromas leap from the glass of this lush and exciting Lagrein. A wine meant for food straight off the grill, the palate is lush with ample darker fruits, but the candied violets and grilled herb flavors carry the wine to a rich finish.” — Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast, May 2024

The moment you pull the cork the room will be filled with stunning aromas of candied plum, rose and sweet spices—a wine not for the faint of heart. The rich palate is well-balanced with the sweetness checked by the vibrant acidity as the lingering floral notes carry the wine from start to finish. — Jeff Porter

“The nose is heavy with citrus and stone fruit, but a subtle floral aroma adds elegance. The palate starts out also citrus-forward, before deeper, richer flavors of nuts, honey and herbs emerge. A saline finish brings a pleasant, unifying coolness.” — Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, May 2024

The nose is full of bright, energetic notes of cherry, strawberry and blood orange, but undertones of sage and pencil shavings provide depth and nuance. On the palate, a crackle of pepper unveils the bitterness of the orange notes, while textured tannins and bright acid bolster the citrus sourness. — Danielle Callegari
