Bastianich 2005 Plus Tocai Friulano (Colli Orientali del Friuli)

  1. $75
This floral wine is bursting with notes of jasmine and honeysuckle backed by sweet fragrances of candied fruit and caramel. The wine is sweet and thick in the mouth but the well-dosed acidity keeps it from being cloying or too fat. It would pair well with slightly sweet foods such as honey glazed ham or lobster.  — M.L.  (11/15/2008)

Bastianich 2007 Friulano (Colli Orientali del Friuli)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $15
The Fruliano grape does not usually give off fragrant or intense aromas, but it does offer density and structure in the mouth. This interpretation lives up to that reputation and offers crisp acidity, stone fruit and mineral flavors on the close.  — M.L.  (8/1/2009)
