Perhaps it is all integrated....this was very nice, served cold, with lots of pear and citrus. Very refreshing and in good shape. Very nice.

I prefer this to the thin, generic pinot gigios one normally finds on the shelves, but I don't really know if this is what "classic" Friuli pinot grigio should taste like. (3218 views) | | | Tasted by herberto on 5/7/2009 & rated 88 points: This had a bit of a woody taste to it, but fruit and concentration was excellent for a Pinot Grigio so I'll forgive it. (3339 views) | | | Tasted by AdamWallstein on 4/25/2009 & rated 91 points: Dark yellow - gold color. Rich nose of tangerine marmalade and cream. The mouth-feel is quite fleshy almost to the point of losing all typicity, but no matter; rich, delicious guava fruits with enough acidic bite (green apples come to mind) sneaking in on the finish. Our Black Cod was very happy. (3422 views) | | | Tasted by MauriceE on 4/12/2009 & rated 87 points: Indeed, this wine needs pairing with food, especially because of the large amount of wood... Combined with powerful, spicy (but not hot!) food, it's very good. (3332 views) | | | Tasted by InternationalWineReport on 1/21/2009 & rated 91 points: nice golden color, showing Green apple, some pear, lemon peel, straw. (best after 2008) - JD91 (1797 views) | | | Tasted by MauriceE on 11/8/2008 & rated 86 points: Paired with (quite powerful) food this wine shows its quality (see previous note when I brought this wine to a tasting). Although this is good, I cannot remember why I awarded this wine 90 points some time ago. To be honest: it's not worth 90 points, but still is a good wine. The oak is too intrusive, and since I don't like heavy oaked wines, why did I earlier say: "I guess the best expression of pinot grigio you could get"? Was it another bottle altogether??? Again: this is good, but by no means great. (1748 views) | | | Tasted by MauriceE on 10/31/2008 & rated 84 points: Brought this wine to an Italy tasting, it had to be tasted blind. It was set next to the Tocai Friulano (Ronco del Gelso). This wine has a much more intense perfume, even buttery. But it has to be said: this is too much oak. It is New World style, there will certainly be admirers of this. Pairing it with food is essential. (1776 views) | | | Tasted by MauriceE on 8/31/2008 & rated 90 points: I guess the best expression of pinot grigio you could get. A little "smokey" but also very fruity. We did not decant the wine, but after an hour or so, the wine definitely improved in the glass. Impressive. (1766 views) |
