Not the most expressive bottle of this wine I’ve had, but it’s got silky mouthfeel and subtle length. Very drinkable stuff

Cucumber, green apple, and underripe honeydew. Beautiful lemon-lime and saline mineral vein throughout.

Beautiful wine. I think Friulano is my second favorite Italian white grape (after Fiano.) This shows lots of complexity and length, with grapefruit, nutmeg, chalk, earth. And it pairs surprisingly well with my sandwich of leftover Thanksgiving turkey!

Label looks old school, but from what I know they're actually new-school old school. Slow foods style Italian winemaking. Uncompromising restraint and mineral focus.

Still a pale yellow green. Definitely slightly reduced. The nose needs some air to open up.. Then it shows orchard fruit and mineral tones. crisp acid and a creamy texture, allow this to pair well with ricotta cheese pasta. Day 2 with a zucchini / tomato sauce / Middle Eastern dish, was also successful. This can take a lot more time in bottle, if you like aged whites.
