In a field of gorgeous Italian whites, this was a star. Lime zest, sea spray, white peach, yellow plum, apricot, honeysuckle, rosemary, sweet basil, on a medium plus body with medium plus acid and a long satisfying, lip-smacking finish — 8 years ago

2017 in a Portofino - wonderful smooth afternoon white — 4 years ago
This is a wine of intense subtlety. Deep golden color and tight, but medium acidity. The notes are complex and many, but they are not obvious. Starts with strong saline and brine. Then moves to mineral and stone, with underlying green apple, slight zest, and some minimal tropical notes. It packs a punch and requires a long time on the palate to fully open up and appreciate.
Jill says it tastes like lake water, but I disagree. — 4 years ago

The Last Bottle of Il Grigio at Portofino...have enjoyed it over the years — 9 years ago
2014 vintage enjoyed in 2017. Bought this on recommendation in Portofino. Still a little young but very well balanced and as mentioned previously not too acidic. Well done. Good value. — 9 years ago
Tart, vibrant, bright fruits — 9 months ago
Actually red Carrasquin Mencia. Recommended by Genova at NM in Oviedo on 5/17/25, to accompany one of best meals ever — indeed good pairing except with dairy dessert. Like high altitude Pinot. — a year ago
Posting this for Mari, she thinks it’s delicious. We had it at Portofino in Chicago! — 7 years ago
Delightful throwback to days in Portofino, this hard-to-find vermentino sings with sea spray, grapefruit, lemon peel, chamomile, nectarine, white peach, and tingly acid - mineral streak that accentuates both seafood and citrus fruit salads. Another superb expression from Liguria — 8 years ago
