Thanks for the comment. I recall your blog from last year when you mentioned this wine. We are in total agreement on this, especially it now being a great food wine, since they no longer age it in small oak. It’s much more vibrant and alive.

I do think the 2009 Planeta Cometa is one of the year’s best, by the way.

I like it but I’m not seeing Sicily. Can’t have a list of great Italian whites without something from the sun-baked flatlands around Marsala.

Auguri!

Kyle

It is an amazing wine, isn’t it? And from such wonderful people!

I’m jealous that you were able to experience a vertical tasting with Andrea.

Buone feste!

I totally agree with your choice of Marisa Cuomo. Their Fiorduva is definitely a white that ages well. I had the opportunity to participate in a vertical tasting of Fiorduva in Sorrento at the beginning of December with Andrea Ferraioli. The 2000-2005 vintages. Amazing.
