I'm pleased to see this new offering of Friulano from Italy's northeastern J shaped appellation of Colli Orientali del Friuli within the state of Friuli.
Expect this to be an fantastic food wine, with amazing persistence and a plush texture. The aromas are honeycomb, apple and straw, some warm stone fruit notes and plenty of minerality. The palate is rich, the texture lanolin, mineral and honey/beeswax mingle with typical pithy citrus flavours. The finish is long and very bright.
Pair with fish or creamy mushroom polenta.
