Tre Bicchieri 2023
90 Points - Vinous
"The 2021 Pecorello is dusty and floral, with green melon and crushed stone notes filling out its bouquet. This is silky-smooth with medium-bodied weight and crisp white pit fruits that give way to kiwi traces. It finishes with admirable length and a lingering tension, as residual acids keep the mouth watering, and a salty mineral flourish slowly fades. Nicely done. The 2021 is full of character." -EG, May/2023
