Score: 89Vintage 2023Wine SpectatorLightly fleshy and balanced, with lively acidity backing flavors of tangerine, pomelo, melon and pear. Salty on the finish, where there's a rich hint of blanched almond. Malvasia, Grechetto, Greco and Trebbiano. Drink now. 2,000 cases made, 300 cases imported. –ANShelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2021Wine EnthusiastThe primarily citrusy nose draws balance from notes of nuts, stone and herbs. That balance continues on the palate, which is fresh, light and summery.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2021Vinous MediaThe 2021 Frascati Superiore Poggio Verde is understated, with crushed yellow apples, stone dust and dried flowers. It opens with a balanced inner sweetness offset by mineral-tinged orchard fruits. A salty flourish lingers as the 2021 finishes with tension.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 89Vintage 2019Vinous MediaCrushed apples, brown spices and dusty dried florals create a rich and inviting display on the 2019 Frascati Superiore Poggio Verde. It’s silky-smooth and pliant, almost glycerol-like in feel, with notes of ripe pear and hints of peach motivated by brisk acidity. This tapers off a bit short yet fresh and with a hint of sour green citrus that keeps the mouth watering for more. The Poggio Verde is a blend of 50% Malvasia di Candia, 20% Malvasia del Lazio and a 30% mix of Greco, Grechetto and Trebbiano Toscano.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
