Winemaker Notes:
The color is a full yellow with fascinating golden and greenish highlihts. The nose is elegant, intense, and captivating. The varietal expression of citrus, tomato leaves and almond is enriched by fruit notes of gooseberry, apricot, kiwi, yellow peach, and by flower aromas of lemon blossom, jasmine, antique rose, and citrus aromas of bergamot and citron peel. Almost viscous aromatic perception in its intensity and structure. The palate is embracing, complex, lively. Soft attack and a growing freshness. Notes of ripe golden apple, dried fruit and vanilla fuse together with balsamic hints of sage and thyme. Pleasant tannins and good persistence with a typical slightly bitter note in the finish and citrus aftertaste.
Traditionally drunk as an aperitif in Friuli, great match with prosciutto crudo, salami and other sliced meats. It also pairs beautifully with fish dishes and fresh and fatty cheeses.

Apricot, papaya, waxed lemon, stone and white pepper on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with a creamy texture. Deliciously smooth, flavorful and fresh finish. Drink now.

Lightly mouthwatering, with a streak of salinity underscoring flavors of baked white peach, ginger-infused pastry cream, biscuit and verbena. Long and silky on the herb-laced finish. Drink now through 2024. 5,200 cases made, 658 cases imported.
Vinous

Crushed stone, dried flowers and fresh pear form a pretty and inviting display as the 2019 Friulano blossoms in the glass. This is soft in texture and juicy in feel, with a noticeable inner sweetness balanced by bright acidity as a more tropical display of fruits and sweet herbs resonate throughout. While a bit shorter than expected, this still finishes wonderfully fresh and floral with a flourish of spicy citrus. Very nice.

Aromas of pear, hay and hazelnut lead the way. The savory palate offers white peach, lemon zest and bitter almond alongside bright acidity.
