There’s a toasted or nutty edge to this pretty Chardonnay that plays a supporting role to peach and passion fruit. The wine boasts medium density and a full palate of oak and fruit flavors that are capped by crisp acidity.

Gigante’s Picolit offers simplicity and elegance thanks to its bouquet of chestnut honey, candied orange peel and dried apricot. The wine showcases a lively golden color with well-integrated acidity and a long finish. Pair it with almond-based desserts or drink it alone after dinner.

Here’s a flatter, perhaps more neutral expression of the fragrant Sauvignon variety that offers citrus-like zest in the mouth and tonic aromas of exotic fruit, papaya and mango. Pair this wine with appetizers or finger foods—but avoid anything with lemon because the wine already has a strong citric side.

Fresh and lightweight, this Friulano offers aromas of stone fruit, melon and white mineral. The wine is smooth and supple with crisp acidity on the close. It would pair with fried rock shrimp or Thai spring rolls.

A slightly copperish hue suggests this wine has been made according to Pinot Grigio tradition (in which the wine sees longer contact with the skins). You’ll get aromas of peach, nectarine, and honeysuckle followed by a crisp-clean mouthfeel.

Here’s an intensely aromatic dessert wine (made with the little-known Verduzzo Friulano grape that is native to Northeast Italy) with an odd lineup of saccharine candy, butterscotch, caramel, peppermint and herbal tones. The wine is creamy smooth in the mouth and delivers a piquant blast of spice on the close.
