Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (89): This wine's aromas of melting lemon-scented candle wax and an amaro made with artichokes are wild, but it all works. Things normalize on the palate, with lemon gelato and toasted filberts as the primary flavors. It is light bodied, with crisp acidity. Vintage: 2020
