A lovely pairing with oysters on the half shell, the Scarbolo 2016 Friuli Grave Pinot Grigio Mattia (Beyond Pinot) takes the workhorse Pinot Grigio grape and transforms it into a wine of unique character and sophistication. Fermented partially in oak, the wine offers a generous and layered bouquet that reveals unexpected complexity in the form of poached pear, toasted almond, fragrant garden rose and crushed stone. Tasted four years after the harvest, the wine shows a soft texture that is relaxed and pliant thanks to aging. Some 6,500 bottles were made.
