The 2021 Friulano is a bit backward in the glass, peppery and floral with just a hint of green apple. It's soothingly round and pliant with a burst of zesty acidity and citrus tones that add lovely contrast. The 2021 finishes with sweet spice and sour melon notes, leaving the palate thirsting for more. This is a total pleasure on the palate, but make sure to give it some air to open up aromatically.

Lovely—refreshing, light perfume, citrus/slate accord, decent finish. Can’t get enough of these northern Italian whites.

A terrific example of a friulano, this wine has awesome aromatics, great acidity, and wonderful balance. Hard to find anything that competes with a northern Italian white. Fantastic!
