Friulano 2020
“The nose is inviting, fruity, with notes of sweet almond,
while the mouth feels round and full- bodied”.



Pignolo 2016
“A wide wine, expressive and full of character,
reminiscent of ripe plum and red berries.
The taste is all encompassing and bold,
provided with a particular acidic and tannic
drive, and a long pleasant finish”.

Note

BIANCOSESTO 2018
A blend of equal parts Friulano and Ribolla Gialla,
the Tunella 2018 Friuli Colli Orientali Biancosesto

is my favorite wine in this group of new releases.

Together these two grapes offer brightness and

intensity with a pretty range of aromas that

spans from fresh peach, to sweet almond and

fleshy pear. The wine spreads over the palate with

a midweight texture and lots of zesty citrus on the

close, a great partner to a spinach and ricotta pie.

“Fresh pear, honeydew melon, lemon and white

acidity and a creamy, fruity palate. Juicy finish.

Note

COLMATÌSS SAUVIGNON 2019
A lovely Sauvignon with intense herby character.
Lemon grass, and fennel notes feature on the
mouthwatering palate allied to a medley of soft
yellow and white fruits. This is a refreshing and
expressive wine ready now but with several more
years on its side. Drink now or next 2-3 years
”.
