The 2014 Friuli Colli Orientali Pinot Bianco offers medium-bodied intensity and a subdued bouquet that is characteristic of this versatile white grape. Give it a chance and the wine slowly offers aromas of white pear and Golden Delicious apple. The finish is smooth and creamy, but never too heavy. In fact, it aspires to just the right level of richness to pair with seafood pasta or white meat.

Ermacora’s luscious Pinot Bianco offers a decisive mineral backbone that is enhanced by soft layers of orange zest, almond blossom and apricot. The wine delivers excellent structure and caps it off with fresh acidity.——M.L.(8/1/2009)—— 88

Here’s a distinctive Pinot Bianco with aromas of smoked ham and roasted chestnut that would pair well with a Bechamel sauce or butter-roasted shellfish. The wine has a smooth, even texture and a long, satisfying finish with power and cleansing alcohol. ——M.L.(7/1/2008)—— 87
