Wine review: 87 points –Wine Enthusiast This well-priced Friulano would pair nicely with spicy Indian or Thai food thanks to the creaminess and richness of its mouthfeel. In addition, the wine offers a solid bouquet of peach and melon that would not compete with fragrant ingredients 100% Ribolla Gialla.
My review: Shame, I was hoping to like this wine more, but on the palate I just wasn't that impressed. With aromatic notes of light shambles and flowers, lemon, and greens, I experienced a palate that was different than what the bouquet prepared me for. Dry, cracked pepper, spice, and damp earth. On paper it sounds great, but on the palate I was a bit disappointed.
