Friulano
Friuli Colli Orientali DOC
A full and multifaceted wine, with floral notes that give grace and complexity at the same time. Lively, light, never banal, powerful yet with a freshness to savor, to taste, to swirl on the palate, playing with the bitter almond finish just hinted at and diluted by a slight sweetness. Balanced to the point of evoking tradition but detaching itself from it with finesse and grace.
