Winery - La Tunella
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A likeable and extremely approachable wine, this Tocai Friulano has a broad aromatic offering with hints of exotic fruit, banana, peach and almond skin. Typical to the variety, these aromas are neither pungent nor strong: Instead they are dosed out in a balanced, harmonious way. The wine’s structure is creamy, chewy and long lasting.

Creamy and buttery with gorgeous notes of stone fruit, exotic fruit, vanilla, honey and a playful touch of banana, this wine is an exceptional companion to shellfish, clams or chowder. The aromas are direct, intense and very seductive. This is an opulent, sophisticated wine that wins high scores across the board, thanks to its genuine intensity and its crisp, flavor-rich finish.

Melon, peach and honey are the driving forces behind this easy white wine. In the mouth, it delivers pretty fruit nuances and lean structure that closes on a high, fresh note. It’s great for sipping by the pool in the hot months of summer.

The wine is golden with bright amber highlights and redolent of sweet caramel candy, brown sugar, molasses and butterscotch with peppermint and root beer highlights. Those saccharine sweet tones fuel a chewy, syrupy finish.

La Tunella’s Picolit exhibits a saturated golden color and ripe aromas of mature apricot, tangerine skin and citrus. You’ll also recognize tones of honey, toasted nut and maple syrup. It’s a chewy, viscous dessert wine with in-your-face intensity and a succulent, sweet finish.

If you want to taste the true flavors of Northeast Italy, we recommend you try this wine. Biancosesto is a highly successful marriage of Friulano and Ribolla Gialla (two leading indigenous grapes) that delivers intense aromas of passion fruit, peach, honeysuckle, lemon zest and candied fruit. What sets it apart however is its soft, creamy texture.

Fragrant aromas of apricot, honey, candied fruit and creamy almond paste. The wine is beautifully concentrated, smooth and it ends with layers of sweetness and well-balanced acidity. It’s complex and round and would pair with elegant dishes such as foie gras.
