The 2016 Friuli Colli Orientali Biancosesto is a blend of Friulano and Ribolla Gialla in equal parts. The wine is fermented and aged in oak. I've always nurtured a particular admiration for this wine, first, because it so authentically represents the native grapes of Friuli, and second, because it is a true delight to drink. This vintage is especially tonic and vibrant, with aromas of honeysuckle, apple and pear. The wine shows a lean to mid-weight style that leans toward the more consistent and rich side of the spectrum. Production is generous at 30,000 bottles made.
