Vecchie Vigne 2022 - 93 pt
"A tasty, minerally white with notes of biscuits, crushed stones, salted almonds and dried apples on the nose. It’s medium- to full-bodied, biscuity and complex, with plenty of texture and flavor. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold."
Historical 2019 - 94 pt
"This is a serious verdicchio that should remind you of the potential of the grape. Lemon zest, fennel, minerals and a touch of beeswax. Intense, naturally concentrated and very fresh, yet sleek and textured, with edgy minerality and salinity stretching to the finish. Long and pure. From organically grown grapes. Youthful and delicious now, but can hold."
Le Busche 2022 - 91 pt
"A juicy chardonnay that has aromas and flavors of lemons, peaches, apricots and pie crust. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and creamy. Drink now."
Casal di Serra 2023 - 91 pt
"Lemons, biscuits and seashells on the nose. Touch of acacia honey. It’s crisp and tangy with a medium body and a tasty, waxy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now."
Campo San Giorgio 2020 - 93 pt
"This is a bright and lively red that has notes of wild cherries, cocoa, tobacco and dried flowers on the nose. It’s medium- to full-bodied, youthful and firm, with chewy tannins and tangy acidity. Seashells and iodine come through on a long, tight finish. Better after 2025."

Cumaro 2020 - 92 pt
