The Ronchi di Manzano 2019 Friuli Colli Orientali Pinot Grigio is light and fragrant with citrus, grapefruit, white peach and honey. This is a pretty wine of easy latitude and depth, with that classic point of acidity that keeps things refreshing and bright.

A somewhat clumsy and disjointed wine with sulfur, matchstick and green notes that don't seem to blow off. It's not very exciting in the mouth either.——M.L.(2/1/2006)—— 82

Intensely fruity, offering notes of buttered citrus and tropical fruit presented in an uncomplicated yet fleshy, well-delineated, vibrant, exuberant style, it requires consumption over the next 12-18 months.
