Bright straw yellow. Enticing aromas of apricot peach and apple, complicated by hints of powdered rocks and sweet spices. Fresh and juicy, but with very suave flavors of botanical herbs and orchard fruit nicely lifted and carried on the long finish by harmonious lively acidity. A hint of sweet spices repeats at the back. Always bigger and riper than the more mineral Abbazia di Rosazzo, but each will have its fans. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, May 2018)

In one bottle the best of friuli- explosive aromas and taste, ageability- and the worst- unbalanced alcohol and undrikability. After two days of trying to drink it, I gave up and cooked with it.
