  • Score: 87 Vintage 2023 Wine Spectator Crisp and minerally, with an overtone of petrol and salt layered with subtle notes of white cherry, mandarin orange peel and lemon thyme. Malvasia, Bombino Bianco, Chardonnay and Greco. Drink now. 2,000 cases made, 800 cases imported. – Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 90 Vintage 2021 Wine Enthusiast The nose is fresh and autumnal, like munching a yellow apple and dancing across wet pavement in new sneakers bought for the start of school. On the palate, a sugary citrus joins the apple, while an assertive salinity pushes back against the rich, oily texture. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 87 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 2021 Frascati wafts up with an herbal tea-like quality, slightly floral and herbaceous. This balances a pleasant inner sweetness with saline-tinged acidity under an air of inner florals. Ripe pear and mineral nuances linger as the 2021 tapers off with medium length.

  • Score: 88 Vintage 2019 Wine Spectator A light-bodied white that's creamy and well-balanced, with a lithe spine of acidity refreshing notes of almond puree, apricot and hints of lemon oil and dried mint. Drink now. 16,666 cases made, 800 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 86 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media The 2019 Frascati lifts up with spicy florals and hints of nectarine. It’s soft-textured with a pleasantly sweet display of ripe orchard fruits offset by saline-mineral tones. Hints of green apple and sour citrus linger as this tapers off with medium length. A blend of Malvasia di Candia, Malvasia del Lazio, Bombino, Chardonnay and Greco. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
