- Score: 88 Vintage 2021 Wine Enthusiast The 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 Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 88 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 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 Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 88 Vintage 2020 Wine Spectator Presents poached apricot, lemon curd and almond paste notes enlivened by sleek, well-knit acidity and a subtle, mineral-laced undertow. Reveals hints of chamomile and orange zest that play on the creamy finish. Malvasia, Grechetto, Greco and Trebbiano. Drink now. 2,000 cases made, 300 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 89 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media Crushed 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 Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 88 Vintage 2017 Wine Enthusiast A blend of Malvasia Puntinata, Greco and Bombino, this offers aromas of white spring flower, lemon zest and tropical fruit. The lively palate offers Granny Smith apple, grapefruit and yellow peach alongside bright acidity. KERIN O’KEEFE Shelf Talker Full Page Review
