Decanter
Named for an ancient Roman grape planted in the region around the Massican hills of southern Italy. Dan Petroski's Gemina is a masterclass in clarity—aromas of crushed oyster shells, smoky grilled lemon peel and airy white florals. A laser etched precision as filigreed sea spray frames grilled lemon, green mangoes and notes of white pepper. This is a gorgeous wine, linear, electric and evocative of the southern Italian dolce vita.

Wine Enthusiast
The trend of Italian varieties grown in California is one to watch and then discover in wines like this one. This wine is lush, with aromas of orange blossom, white nectarine, green papaya, lemongrass and mineral on the nose. The flavors on the palate are makrut lime and white peach, intermingled with fresh herbs, orange zest, mineral and a mouthwatering, dry finish. Pair with grilled sand dabs

James Suckling
An Italian style white blend of greco, falanghina and fiano from three districts of California, inspired by Campania. It is super crisp, acidic and mouth-puckering, with intense lemon, lime, grapefruit and green apple flavors accented by minerals and white pepper. Light-bodied, made for food pairing.
Notes
A lip-smacking, racy white blend of Greco 60%, Falanghina 23%, Fiano 17%.
