- Score: 87 Vintage 2022 Vinous Media Pungent citrus and wild herbs give way to crushed green apples as the 2022 Bianco Salina evolves in the glass. This is more savory than expected, with saline minerality and tart orchard fruits. Tropical melon and mint notes slowly fade as the 2022 finishes fresh and with admirable length.

- Score: 86 Vintage 2022 Wine Enthusiast A sweet nose is headlined by peach candy and ripe apricots with the fizzy citrus of lemon-lime soda. The palate leans into the citrus, but that peach sweetness persists even against an emergent bite of salted grapefruit and lively acid. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 90 Vintage 2021 Wine Enthusiast The deeply aromatic nose alternates the juicy sweetness of very ripe yellow peach with the savory saline aromas of hot pavement and crushed rocks before the palate turns to a lively citrus medley made bright with bouncy acid, but still savory with a salted butter finish Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 89 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 2021 Bianco Salina is muted with a delicate bouquet that blends mint leaves with hints of green melon. It splashes across the palate, pleasantly sweet and with juicy acidity, showing crisp orchard fruits and hints of gingery spice. The 2021 tapers off with sneaky concentration, and a sour melon trace slowly fades. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 88 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media The 2019 Bianco Salina is coy with an understated display of crushed apples, pears, stone dust and lime zest. It’s silky in texture, contrasted by citrus-tinged fruits, with inner florals amassing toward the close. Hints of nectarine and sweet spice linger through the long, cool-toned finale. The Bianco Salina is an equal-parts blend of Catarratto and Inzolia. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
