  Pale lemon, with some golden hues. The nose is clean, with green apple, ripe lemon, white flowers, lavender, sweet baking spices. The palate is dry, but with a sweet golden apple flavor. The acidity is medium and the alcohol is atypically high at 14.5%. This Friulano does not see any oak, but does spend several months aging on the lees, which makes the palate much richer and rounder than the nose. This comes across as full-bodied, with medium (+) flavor intensity and a medium (+) long, slightly bitter, slightly savory finish of salted almonds. This wine also changes flavor profile considerably depending on whether it is served on the colder or warmer side. It is drinking well now and really shows little sign of aging. It will probably do well for another couple of years.
