🍇2019 Ronco del Gnemiz Friulano San Juan
Enchanting and thrilling with a lovely texture. Somehow it reminds me of a mix of a white Burgundy and high quality Sancerre. A wine that is right up my alley. Serve it at 12 degrees in a generous Burgundy glass. Serve it with something tasty. 

Good concentration on the nose that opens up with some green apples, grape fruit and elder flower that is soon overtaken by richer characters of juicy peaches, orange and honey. Toasted nuts and a pronounced crushed fruit mineralogy brings further complexity.
Full bodied and a generous entry with a balancing fresh acidity. Pronounced fruit concentration and strong mid palate yet with a slime waste and lovely salty texture that brings nerve and tension through a very solid finish. Well Done!

Fat. Lacking a bit of the focus I would hope for with friulano.

Grass, gooseberries, tree sap, oyster shell on the nose. Maybe also a touch of VA. Spike of acidity and plenty of minerality come through on the palate. A bitter tinge at the end but attractive and would go nicely with seafood.

Fresh with some phenolic bitterness. Dead ringer for Alsace Pinot Blanc in my glass.

Love my Friulano from Friuli. Interesting plush vintage. Just a touch of heat on almond pit and flower.
