This wine is delicious. It has a textural richness, complementing an expressive bouquet of aromas and flavors crossing fruit (yellow apple, green pear, gooseberry, just ripe pineapple, lemon peel) and floral clusters (yellow flowers, blossom, honeysuckle), punctuated by herbaceous, steely, and flinty characteristics.
The Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc also lend acidity and lift to the profile, while supporting balance and establishing structure. The alcohol is high at 14.5% ABV but you would never know it.
This wine aged for 9 months in 250 liter oak barrels, augmenting the mouthfeel.
In a word, this wine is sensual!! 🥂🥂

Lovely wine. Nose of fennel, pear, melon and wet rocks. On the palate I also sense a floral/herbal nuance (verbena? jasmine? chamomile?) and there is pleasant acidity and minerality. Could use some extra length and body, but otherwise this is a very fine Bianco.
50% Friulano 40% Sauvignon 10% Riesling.
