S’ARAI 2004 86 VINO FRUTTO BEST OF THE BEST ITALIAN WINES
ESSENTIJA 2005 84 VINO FRUTTO
STELLATO 2006 84 VINO FRUTTO
TRIENTE 2006 83
CRABILIS 2006 79

Very good and in progress the quality for the glass of Pala wines. The whites are very dense and smooth, clean, never too ripe or over ripe. The souplesse of Crabilis 06, the smoothness and integrity of Stellato 06 offer superior value. Very lively the Cannonau di Sardegna Triente 2005 with a great colour. Strong the Essentija Bovale 2005 the proof of the potential of this excellent grape variety. For the S’Arai 2004 to be put in the Annuario (best of the best) proves its greatness and standing of a superior champion.
