I think they've lighted up a bit in recent years, especially on Kabinett level. although still plenty of sulfur, which is where I assume the (light) reduction comes from . But I'm no chemist!

Some are actually pretty cheap (Leccia for instance), The Abbattuci wines - especially the Cuvee Collection ones (fascinating story, family got cuttings of almost extinct indigenous varieties and saved them) are pricey, but very good. But Zachys had a sale where this wine and the red Ministre Imperial were $35 rather than normal $75-100, wish I'd bought more than I did.
