it’s giving dirt! In the best way. Stone fruit. Fresh acidity. Barnyard funk. I love this — a month ago
What beautiful white wine. The nose is peaches, ocean, sage, grass, like hiking in a field in summer. Palate is mineral driven with good acidity. More stone fruit, sea salt, some more greenery. I love it. Better after 90 minutes of air and closer to cellar temp — 3 months ago
Has Vermentino fallen out of favour with Italians and is being replaced by a taste for Chardonnay?
Maybe but I don't want to believe it yet.
On hot summer days there is not much more refreshing than a well chilled glass of Vermentino. Chilled is a must - it still has enough oomph in the nose to release its floral essence. Once it comes up to room temp it can be overwhelmingly perfumey IMHO. Good acid balance.
I'm pretty convinced that you can trust anything from Fontori to be a solid choice. — 2 months ago

Deep red and cherry/red fruit, light black pepper at back (14%,+/-2) — 2 months ago
This was very enjoyable and it also seemed to continue to open. Yeasty notes with flowers, cherries, pepper and the taste had some spice. — a month ago
CV pre dinner tasting. Color lighter than Gavi but nose shows oxidative notes melon ripe fruits. Softer texture roundness on palate. Long grippy finish that’s unexpected. Two more bottles to try. CV second bottle, less oxidative and fresher nose and palate. Upping to 9 — a month ago
The winery’s entry level Sangiovese bottling. Aged 15 months in second-use French oak for 2020 vintage, it delivers a darker-fruited profile while preserving Sangiovese’s classic character. A versatile, crowd-pleasing choice and pairs especially well Northern Italian pasta dishes. — 2 months ago
