In the 1970s the quality white wine revolution was launched in Italy's Friuli Venezia Giulia region with the Collio DOC sub-region enjoying heaps of praise - a north star of quality in the greater region. Today, you have a chance to experience that legacy of quality first-hand with the finest provenance.
Lot 379 comes to us directly from the cellars of an internationally prestigious winery in the region, considered an ambassador for the wines of Collio DOC to this day. Expertly grown and crafted by third-generation farmers to the region, this is an elegant wine with a strong sense of place that's a ridiculous value at $15.
Beautiful lilac, lemon verbena perfume with almond and mineral define the nose. Broad shouldered on entry with more fantastic structure and viscosity, there is lots of “there” there on the palate, however, this is still swaddled in some baby fat; huuuge length on the palate but it's chalky and unwinding with plenty of complexity beginning to emerge…this is a complex white that comes with a 24-hour recommended decant at this age.
