Deep yellow very balanced fruit and acidity. Needs to open up — 8 days ago
Entry-level white wine from the good sisters of the Monastero Suori Cistercensi in Vitorchiano, under the tutelage of Paolo Bea. Blend of Trebbiano (45%), Malvasia (35%), and Verdicchio (20%) from organically-farmed vines rooted in volcanic soils. Fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and about 1 week of skin contact. Rich, ripe, complex nose, with aromas of pear skins, apricot, honey and notes of iron and herbs (fennel). Full-bodied, round, quite concentrated. Lovely chalky/mineral texture — 2 years ago

The nose is evocative of autumn on multiple sensory levels, with aromas of fennel fronds, chamomile tea, almonds, and tangerine that lead into a full but delicately rendered palate. Vitorchiano’s volcanic soils come through with a somber smoke-iron interplay, and glowing acidity lets the savory flavors coat the mouth, yet the overall impression is one of freshness and drinkability. — 16 days ago
