The region of Friuli Venezia Giulia is showing some very promising results with the Pinot Bianco grape, also widely planted in Alto Adige. With some 6,000 bottles made, the Scubla 2018 Friuli Colli Orientali Pinot Bianco is linear and bright with pear, apple and crushed stone or salty mineral. That saline note reinforces the dryness and the delineated elegance of the mouthfeel. This well-priced wine would make a fantastic match to a raw shellfish starter or sushi.
