The 2010 Confini celebrates the concept of “borders” with an international blend of 40% Pinot Grigio, 40% Gewurtztraminer and 20% Riesling. This is a gorgeous wine with the aromatic fullness you’d expect from the last two aromatic varieties in the blending lineup. The wine is oak-fermented with 11 months batonnage. Petroleum, exotic fruit, candied pineapple, jasmine and other fragrant flower make up the bouquet. The mouth-feel is velvety, smooth and long lasting. Drink: 2014-2020. Alvaro Pecorari and his family are protagonists in the new wave of excellent vintners who have given life to the modern Friuli wine identity. His efforts focus primarily on mono-varietal expressions of white grapes and his beautiful wines are meticulously aged on fine lees with frequent batonnage. They are unified by a profound sense of depth and elegance. Importer: Lis Neris/Wine Twist, www.lisneris.it
