Intense aromas of dried exotic fruit lead to a full body, with a fresh, silky texture.” TRE BICCHIERI 90 points 2010 “Cometa ’08 showed its great class and easily took Three Glasses. This white Fiano, whose beauty is already clear in its deep, straw-yellow, flaunts elegant hints of peach, tropical fruit and camomile. On the plalate, it is engaging, mineral, fleshy, full-flavored, and wonderfully long.” March 2011 Cometa is a fantastic expression of Fiano from Sicily that reaches high marks in terms of purity, intensity and persistency. The wine is thick and smooth on the palate and imparts lasting flavors of stone fruit, honeydew melon and almond blossom.
