    Montonale Montunal (White) 2023 - RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Hints of lees. Spearmint. Pretty richness. Slightly pithy white grapefruit. Classy, concentrated northern Italia white. Pretty citrus. Pretty and nutty. Nice wine. Textural and dry despite the pretty acidity and lots of juicy fruit.

    Montonale Montunal (White) 2018 - Highly RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Pretty herbal notes. Some crunchy green apples. Intense blood oranges (Luigi Barzini describes blood oranges as the favoured kind in Italy in his 'The Italians' - but I can't say I've seen vastly more here than elsewhere), dark red citrus. A twist of caramel almost. Vibrant acidity, softened slightly by soft stone fruit and hints of marmalade. Despite the vibrant acidity, this is still soft and spiced and decadent and opulent. Lovely grippy pithy phenolic gravelly tannins. Gorgeous and very classy. Complex.`
