"This wine is lively, with aromas of guava, papaya, citrus, and dried apricot on the nose. The flavors on the palate are apricot, orange cream, and pink grapefruit zest, interwoven with dried herbs, white tea, and a dry, mouthwatering finish."

92 points, Decanter:
"Fresh as a daisy, the Massican Pinot Grigio transports you to the Amalfi Coast. Crushed stones and white flowers alight from the glass, accenting aromas of candied lemon peel and seaspray. The palate begs to be paired with oysters. Crushed seashell minerality is met with smoky grilled lemon peel, and white tea leaves finish it out."
