Never before seen grape variety. Tazzelenghe the "tongue cutter." Dried herbs, fennel and dirty mushrooms.

From a re-discovered ancient local grapes (tazzelenghe is the Friuli tipical slang meaning "tongue-cutter" due to its terrific tannins), this wine found its balance after aging 2 years in oak and several years in bottle. Red/black small fruits and sweet spices at the nose, powerful and fresh on the palate, with licorice and vanilla final flavours.

First time with a red from the region. Pencil lead, bell pepper, licorice, really nice tannins.

Almost Bordeaux like. Rich tannins and spicy with surprising finish. Not what I was expecting from this Friulian wine.
