This is widely regarded as a difficult vintage, not so much for the heat but for the heavy rain in September. Many white grapes, however, escaped the worst of it and emerged unscathed. The Lis Neris 2017 Friuli Isonzo Friulano La Vila shows the grape's characteristic golden color with faint hints of green hidden somewhere within its luminosity. This is a zesty and cheerful white with a point of spicy piquancy that tastes like lime, tropical fruit and minty apple. There is a subtle touch of crushed oyster shell on the close. Try it with a conch chowder and freshly baked bread.

Another vibrant expression of the native Friulano variety, the 2016 Friuli Isonzo Friulano La Vila is luminous and transparent, just an all-around beautiful wine. It opens to a harmony of Golden Delicious apple and pear, a creamy mouthfeel and medium structure that concludes with salty minerality. Pair it with any poultry dish or even a veal schnitzel. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak barrels on the lees for 11 months. Some 13,000 bottles were produced.

Lis Neris does a terrific job with all its white wines, but its Friulano is exceptionally pure and variety-driven. The 2013 Friuli Isonzo Friulano La Vila is a gorgeous expression of this native white grape. It shows the fruity flavor profile, the minerality and the fresh acidity to pair with a long list of vegetable and seafood-based dishes. Stone fruit, Golden Delicious apple and acacia honey are on prime display.

From a special vineyard selection, this gorgeous Friulano has the nature heft and creaminess to pair with risotto and scampi or spaghetti with clams. The elegant aromas recall honeysuckle, peach and white melon and the wine leaves a very clean and lasting impression.——M.L.(11/1/2011)—— 90
