Excellent complexity. Roast Sumatra coffee texture and literally its scent. 2hour decanting is necessary to bring out the most of its dormant complexity. The only thing that bothers me is its geographical identity. If blindly tasted, I would undoubtedly say this is typical Margaux grand cru classe. The wine maker really has a lot to do with Margaux and Saint julien. Anyway, it's a great wine. — 11 years ago

2014 - San Martino della Battaglia is one of the smallest DOC in Italy, that counts 30K bottles for 8 producers. This white is based on Tuchì grapes (actual name for Tocai), it represents a bold move to reaffirm its past identity and visibility to the market niche of Tocai/Tuchì aficionados. An amazing small jewel to discover on the southern shores of Lake Garda. — 11 years ago
