Winery - Russiz Superiore
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a truly amazing Sauvignon from northeast Italy that rests on the lees for three years to shape a rich, complex and elegant white wine. The variety’s characteristic aromas of exotic fruit and spring flowers are all there and the wine is impressively generous and creamy on the finish.

Creamy and smooth with a dense and sophisticated style, this is the kind of top-shelf Pinot Grigio you could pair with lobster bisque or New England clam chowder. There are pretty aromas here of yellow flower, acacia, peach, pear and citrus.

Col Disôre is one of those Collio (in Northeast Italy) white wines that really works thanks to the natural creaminess and softness of the fruit. The aromas include passion and exotic fruits along with banana, pineapple and vanilla. Pair it with seafood or pasta salad.

This creamy Riserva has the natural fragrances of Sauvignon—exotic fruit, lime, yellow rose and spicy sage—backed by a full, round and generous mouthfeel. This wine boasts a commanding presence in the mouth and finishes with smooth richness.

Gorgeous, rich and intense, this luminous blend of Pinot Bianco, Friulano, Sauvignon and Ribolla Gialla offers the best of Collio winemaking. The northeast area of Italy is particularly suited for white wines and this expression is loaded tight with peach blossom, apricot, almond and light toast.

Easy-going and light with informal aromas of peach, jasmine flower and citrus, this is a great lunchtime wine. It tastes fresh and satisfying and has enough acidity to complement salad dressing, cold cuts or easy pasta dishes.

Here’s an exciting and well crafted Pinot Grigio with nice heft and density in the mouth followed by bright flavors of citrus, peach, pineapple and pear. The wine offers intensity and a creamy texture that would work with seafood or white meat.

Here’s a beautiful Riserva Pinot Bianco that delivers intense aromas of stone fruit, honey, melon and toasted almond. The wine rests on the lees for eight months for extra heft and density on its naturally rich texture. Pair it with shellfish or white meat.

Horus (a fabulous blend of 90% Picolit with smaller percentages of Sauvignon and Friulano) opens with a golden-amber color and segues to aromas of honey toasted almond, dried apricot, chestnut honey and yellow rose. The wine is thick and creamy with a long close that is driven by both extraction and freshness.
