There is a bit of caramel, licorice and cherry with some rose petal scent on this nose. A wide spectrum of scents and feelings to associate it with. The palate is really easy going with a good acid drive, rather straight forward, some matter, some grip on the sides, a spherical mid palate and tannins which tend to expand it and make it wider before a finish with red fruit notes and a fresh after taste that last for a while. Second attempt with this wine in this vintage and it clearly leads me to dig dipper into bardolinos. — 6 years ago

Slightly cloudy gold color (unfiltered) with lime zest, honeysuckle,and stone fruit aromas. On the palate, it's full-bodied, fresh, and very persistent with a wonderfully supple texture. Flavor-wise it shows white peach, lime, honey, and a suggestion of persimmon flavors with a long mineral laced finish. Bottled unfiltered. Battonage during 6 months sur lie aging in large oak casks impart some complexity and a wonderful creaminess. 13% alcohol — 11 years ago

Pignoletto. (With a hint of Riesling? Maybe apocryphal, but I like the story.) Cloudy, at a glance. And clearer, in an aesthetic sense, than most anything I’ve tasted in a long while. I needed this. — 7 years ago
We bought this direct from the vineyard after a tasting just as nice to drink back in the uk! Will order again — 8 years ago

After 18 months in barriques 50% new and 50% used, there are noticeable hints of oak taste, but very well balanced and not overwhelming the wine. Very good indeed at a good price: €30. — 12 years ago
Delicious, chewy big wine. Had in London with bc crew. — 4 years ago
White blend but with a light orange color. Dried persimmon aroma. Minerality, dry peach and orange. Bitterness lingers in a nice way. Holds a grudge I guess. Great overall and the glass stopper instead of a cork is a nice touch. $27 (or maybe $28?) from Rhodora. — 6 years ago
Yes. Lite funk. Bubbles. Why am I drinking this in an alley. Maybe the funk is actually the dog pee next to me. — 8 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
