From the Frescobaldi’s wine venture in northeast Italy, Cicinis is a rich and sophisticated blend of white grapes (Sauvignon, Friulano and Pinot Bianco) that delivers toasted almond, apricot, pineapple and freshly baked piecrust. This luscious, oak-driven white would pair with risotto, chicken or lobster. ——M.L.(3/1/2012)—— 91

A flagship blend of Sauvignon, Friulano and Pinot Bianco, Cicinis is a golden, saturated wine with rich density and intense aromas of orange blossom, citrus, chestnut and creamy vanilla. There’s a bitter almond note on the close and the wine delivers a soft, creamy mouthfeel.——M.L.(8/1/2009)—— 90
