The wine's fragrances are broad in scope with apricot, pastry cream, toasted almond, preserved lemon and spicy saffron." Robert Parker

 "The 2019 Pinot Grigio Zuc di Volpe impresses with a seductive display of ripe pear and apricot, offset by sweet white flowers and hints of buttercream. It’s silky and round with a bit of a weighty feel; yet it maintains perfect balance, ushering in notes of ripe melon offset by zesty lime and a bit of a salty twang toward the close. This then becomes quite savory, smoky even, while leaving the palate completely refreshed. It’s not often that you find a Pinot Grigio with so much character." Vinous

"The 2019 Sauvignon Zuc di Volpe takes its time blossoming in the glass, at first showing only musky orchard fruits. With further coaxing, a spicy display of mineral-laced pear and apricot forms, along with hints of ginger and sweet herbs. It’s silky and textural, balancing tropical citrus against ripe orchard fruits, all motivated by stimulating acidity. Hints of pineapple and cheek-puckering lime linger as the mouth waters for another sip. This is a fully satisfying Sauvignon, packed full of tension and with energy to burn." Vinous

"A steely, fresh sauvignon with lime and hints of grass and kiwi fruit. Gooseberry, too. It’s full-bodied and focused. Steely style." James Suckling

The textures are smooth and soothing, yet this remains feminine and lifted throughout, leaning more on salty, savory characteristics than fruit. The 2019 Pinot Bianco tapers off crisp, clean and wonderfully fresh." Vinous

A very FVG version of Merlot far removed from Pomerol but fine and juicy, with enticing purity and precision of Merlot fruit." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)
