95 points and 'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "Heady aromas of yellow stone fruit, spring flower and wild herb mingle with a whiff of toasted nut. The elegant, savory palate delivers ripe apricot, creamy yellow pear and tangerine zest before a mineral-laden, saline finish. Tangy acidity brightens the rich flavors. For juicy fruit enjoy now, or hold for even more complexity. Drink through 2027. Alcohol 12.5%. (Nov 2019)"
94 points James Suckling: "Lovely aromas and flavors of cooked peaches and straw. Medium to full body. Creamy texture. Flavorful finish. Salty and minerally. Pumice, too. Drink now. (7/22/20)"
93 points Wine & Spirits: "[$40 list] The dark volcanic soils of Pieropan’s Calvarino plot yielded a beautifully floral and fresh wine in the 2017 growing season. Aged for one year in cement tanks, the wine shows flavors of lime and green papaya that ride a zip line of acidity through a long finish, picking up notes of citrus zest along the way. Its finely etched flavors and taut acidity suggest good aging potential. (Feb 2020)"
92+ points Ian D'Agata (Vinous): "[$40 list] Bright straw. The intensely floral nose (buttercups, orange blossom, jasmine, peony) also hints at nectarine, peach and orange oil. Suggestions of cinnamon and cloves complicate the pomaceous orchard fruit flavors in the mouth. Finishes long and concentrated but much less mineral than other past vintages of this wine I am used to, and that I personally like better. Drink: 2020-2024. (Jul 2019)"
91 points Wine Spectator: "[$40 list] A harmonious white, with mineral, chalk and saline notes underscoring the finely woven mix of Asian pear, slivered almond and pink grapefruit pith flavors. Long, creamy finish. Garganega and Trebbiano. Drink now through 2027. 500 cases imported. (3/31/21)"
