Igneous nose with pear, grapefruit and grilled grapefruit, baked lemon and oregano. Lemon driven with grapefruit pith and lime. Solid acidity here lifting a ton of flavor. White pepper and white grapefruit finish. Great!

Ginko-lychee with candied lavender, rosemary, pomelo and pear blossom honey perfumes. Medium mouthfeel with linseed oil, a Semillon unctious-ness, vidalia onion, hazelnut persistence, #gewürtztraminer #Murigries #altoadige #südtirol #italianbianco #bianco #vinoitaliano #italianwhitewine #wine — 4 years ago

Lemon zest and white pepper, pomelo, apricot jello, a wisp of honey and something verging on raspberry ketones. Chalky and grippy, but simultaneously citric/ linseed oil textured, potato chip, black lime, cedar, olive skin. Delicious wine with unusual depth. #tenutacavalierpepe #grecoditufo #greco #bianco #oakedwhites — 6 years ago

Glinty golden. Sage and olive blossom, lemon bread, orange nano-lade, yellow biquinho, baked apple, white plum, cactus flower. Big caper in a big round mouthfeel with fennel, baked lemon, baked gooseberry, baked table grape, lime peel and pith, soft grapefruit and tarragon. Really a smooth and round wine with a sensuous nature finishing with grapefruit and lemon piths.

There is dried orange peel, lemon seed, and ginseng leading caper, rye bread, clove and a whittle of maple breezing. Grippy lemon and pomelo with an unctuous base, an odd white pepper, and lemon-poppy component. The color is dark, almost antique gold at this point, but the fruit is citrus-bright. #greco #grecoditufo whoa, now we’re turning golden delicious apples and the citrus is an afterthought #bianco #campania #tufo #tenutaRussoBruno #docg #italianwines #italianwhite — 6 years ago

9.1

Slight petrol on very dry switchgrass. Birchbark, paper myrtle, matchstick. Dried lemon, red apple and clove, orange pith, burnt kettle aromatics. Medium mouthfeel with lemon charge, pencil wood, madeleine, sweet grapefruit, cocktail lime and a slight persimmon and papaya reversal. Simultaneously crisp and heavy, but always lighter in retrospect. A genuine dichotomy. #cortona #toscana #italianwhite #sauvignonblancday #whitewinereset #whiteleather #bianco #donotrepeatthishashtagunlessyouwantvampirecurses #blanca #blanco — 7 years ago

9.1

Perfect intensity and concentrated color from rim to rim. Smells of bright, ripe green pear, but baked pie apples, grilled grapefruit wheel; mandarins. Lime-lemon, chamomile, briny oyster liqueur, chive, and sweet and sour. Amazing Molise falanghina with depth for a song. .

Not quite bone-dry #venezie #bianco blend. The Sauvignon Blanc is bold up front, some grassy and tropical fruit notes, lovely acidity and just a nice crisp light wine overall that still maintains substance. It paired nicely with vegetable pot pies with tarragon sauce. — 5 years ago

White pepper laden lemon that turns to powdered vampire. Plenty of lime in addition! Breadfruit, white asparagus white, underripe epricot and white rock covered in wet kefir leaf. Astounding! #tenutacavalierpepe #campagnia #bianco #fiano #refiano #italianwhite — 7 years ago

9.0

Smoky pear, yellow apples, fresh cut hay on a verdant farm the day after a rain. Lemon croissant with a brush of glazed sugar, lemon zest, chive, and satin petals of azalea outline the perfume. There is a freshness of clean, laundered, sun-dried whites. Medium mouthfeel with distinct white pepper, extra virgin oil, tart apple, lemon essences, peach skin, culminating in a silky dryness, full of tangerine and kumquat piths. Serve with substantive fare, and spiciness. It has the unction! #oltrepopavese #giorgi #CannetoPavese #bianco #Riesling #rieslingfix #italianwines #italianwhite #italianwhitewine — 7 years ago
