Score: 91Vintage 2023Wine EnthusiastThe nose is fresh, sweet and energetic, with aromas of white tea, white peach and lemon, but an undertone of earthiness. That balance between fruit, citrus and earthy is found again on the palate, lifted by searing acid.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 91Vintage 2021Vinous MediaThe 2021 Pecorino Giulia impresses with a stunning mix of candied lime, crushed green apple and fresh mint. This is packed full of savory mineral tones and zesty acids that create a sizzling of spicy tension on the palate. There’s a sweet and sour citrusy interplay that lasts impossibly long through the finale, like biting into a lemon pith followed by a healthy swig of juice. Very nice.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2021Wine EnthusiastThe nose of jasmine flowers, vanilla, Meyer lemon and wet rocks on this Pecorino brings to mind watering flowers in the garden. Its palate is also subtle but layered, with more citrus, from Buddha's hand to grapefruit. Acid that is present but unobtrusive holds together this eminently drinkable white.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 89Vintage 2018Vinous MediaThe 2018 Pecorino Giulia lifts up with mineral intensity, as crushed stone gives way to hints of ginger, apple and dusty dried florals. This is soft in texture, excited by bright acids and a tart display of white orchard fruits, building tension toward the close. The cheeks pucker through the mouth-watering finale, just begging for another sip, with hints of lemon rind and nectarine slowly tapering offShelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2018Vinous MediaVivid straw-yellow. Clean and simple aromas and flavors of green apple, white peach and fresh herbs. Shows a building lemony and chalky bite that is nicely extended by lively acidity.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 84Vintage 2018Wine EnthusiastThis white is rather quiet on the nose, not revealing many charms. The palate is full in feel, with ample acidic lift, but the flavors are mild and lean toward sour lemon and melon rind.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
