Ronchi di Cialla
Colli Orientali del Friuli Friulano
Very rich and persistent for Friulano. Should improve.

Jul 8th, 2024The 2019 Friulano is incredibly pretty and perfumed, impressing most with its lifted display of sweet florals, white smoke and peaches. It’s weighty in texture, even creamy at times, yet wonderfully balanced and poised, mixing ripe fruits with juicy acids to create a pleasantly round expression which seems to slowly melt away, leaving a hint of almond paste. There is so much to like here in this purely delicious Friulano. (Eric Guido, Vinous, Janaury 2021)

Baked pear, saline. Melon background: some cantaloupe. Light tropical notes. Med- body with structured acid. Clean, crisp, almost too neutral. Rounded out with a mineral presence.
