Friuli DOC

White flowers, apricot and mugwort accompany delicate dried-fruit and bread-crust notes. The palate brings ripe fruit, aromatic herbs and honey. Made from white grapes grown in north-eastern Italy, the wine ferments at about fifteen to sixteen degrees Celsius and briefly rests on fine lees for added complexity and softness. Suggested pairings include raw seafood, shellfish salads and pasta with fish-based sauces.

Fresh orchard fruit, white flowers, lemon-drop candy and crushed stone appear with lemon zest, green apple skin and wild green herbs. The palate has lively acidity and a lime-toned finish. Pinot Grigio is fermented as a white wine and spends about six months on its lees in stainless steel before bottle ageing. The wine is dry, velvety and fragrant, with thirteen percent alcohol.
