The 2010 Pecorino Casale Vecchio is an attractive white layered with expressive varietal fruit. Floral notes add complexity and lift to the creamy finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013.
Farnese makes a wide range of wines but I nearly always gravitate towards the low end, where there is less of an effort to build the wines in the cellar. It is clear the estate is working with high quality fruit. It would be nice to see a more restrained approach in the cellar.
