This is a terrific value buy that delivers unexpected intensity and complexity. The 2015 Friuli Isonzo Rive Alte Pinot Grigio Sot Lis Rivis is impeccably constructed with a creamy, medium-bodied approach. The wine delivers waves of stone fruit, apricot, preserved lemon and powdered saffron. Those soft and spherical aromas are tightly stitched together with a thread of flinty mineral. The wine is open and generous now. It ages in 25-hectoliter oak botti on the fine lees for one year. Production is 22,000-bottles strong.
