* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The rare local Friulan grape Ribolla Gialla is planted only in 240 acres in the whole region. This typical example is soft, with a clean, light acidity, white currant flavors and a racy, crisp aftertaste.

A well-judged, well-structured wine that balances fresh, crisp and light fruit against flavors of peaches, almonds and cinnamon. It will be better in two or three years’ time.

The Zuc di Volpe line boasts an exceedingly attractive expression of Pinot Bianco that is both aromatic and textured at the same time. The wine sees some oak aging that has helped shape aromas of almond, honey and fresh peach.

There’s a smoky or almost burnt element to the nose here that takes away from the overall purity of the fruit. The wine is piquant and a bit sharp and those toasted notes sit heavy on the finish.

There’s a natural creaminess to this wine that helps elevate aromas of peach nectar, apricot and honey. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky and imparts lasting citrus notes on the close.

This is a full and generous Friulano (a native grape of northeast Italy) that shows ripe aromas of peach, melon and pear. It is smooth and rich on the palate and would pair with creamy seafood risotto.

Solid, luscious and silky smooth, this white wine from the northern Friuli region is one of the most beautiful expressions of the Pinot Bianco grape you’ll find. Stone fruit and nutty tones are rich and penetrating and backed by more fruit and white flowers. Half the wine sees four months of oak to shape its creamy consistency and heightened complexity.

Pretty almond nut, peach, pear and honeydew tones reflect the best of this northeastern Italian region already associated with excellent whites. This wine sparkles thanks to lush honey and dried herb aromas: It’s clean and crisp with spice on the close.

Sometimes, white wines pick up natural gas or chemical rubber aromas and this is definitely the case here. It’s fair to say that some wines from the Friuli region of northern Italy naturally emit those characteristics as well as mature yellow fruit, ripe peach and melon like you will find here.
