This is one the best if not the best Schiavas I have had in terms of balance, texture, weight, and fruit vs herbal. This is just a really enjoyable wine, kinda Glou-Glou like. Great example. — a day ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 1967 Abbazia SS Annunziata Barolo pours a pale, slightly hazy garnet color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of desiccated Morello cherry, dried red flowers, leather, and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This bottle of the ‘67 has lost most of its power at this point but it still has a story to be told. Drink now. — 5 months ago

Truncated party notes: very nice Sylvaner. Lots of nice herbal notes, not a lot of fruit, very nice balance. — 24 days ago

Ripe yellow fruit with some red berries in the background. Nice balance, pleasant acidity. Wonderful vintage 2019. Magnum still in cellar 😉👍 — 3 months ago

By far the best one from their white range.
Aged partially in acacia barrels, this shows a lovely blend of ripe pears, a touch of underripe white peach, a fresh herby mineral note - quite round yet so clean & precise.
Quite some presence on the palate. Medium body, zingy mineral acidity, beautiful mineral depth. Almost as if a slight tannic bite. Great balance & purity, beautiful long finish.
Blind I would have taken this for a racy Pinot Blanc.
Such a nice one! — a year ago

Perfect to sip in the late summer sun by the pool. The notes of apricot are a delightful, refreshing surprise. — 3 years ago
