From mag, and still alive in its deep golden-hued glory in its second decade. Chardonnay / sauv blanc blend, separately vinified in half botti/ half stainless, partially blocked malo, aged on the lees. It all contributes to a long-lived, rich white with decent complexity and robust mouth-feel.

Marmalade and apricot, soft nose needs time to open? Palette is a different story. This wine is a lurking beast. Strong full rich entry, maintains its muscle midway through before the powerful acid structure whacks me upside the head and sits like a bomb on the tip of my tongue. Concentrated, beautiful tension.

The Bastianich Vespa Bianco 2012 is a showy and rich blend of 45% Chardonnay, 45% Sauvignon Blanc, and 10 % Picolit. Beguiling notes of bruised pear, ripe nectarine, dried mango and orange blossom honey lingers heavily in the air above the glass, like a warm day in mid-summer. Dark gold and luxurious, there is just enough acidity to add lift to its decadent, creamy texture. Finishes with a hint of fennel pollen and of a sprightly dash of minerality. 14.0 ABV | Sample

Full, Rich, floral, finish leans bitter. Very friuli.
