What sets this wine apart is the intensity of its aromas: Citrus blossom, creamy lime and honeysuckle are immediate and generous, almost pungent. This showcases many of the prized characteristics associated with the Friuli region of northeastern Italy, which is home to some of the country’s most elegant whites. The mouthfeel is rich, refined and silky but there is enough fresh acidity to keep it lively and cool. Pair it with delicate dishes like sea bass or lake fish.——M.L.(9/1/2007)—— 88
