Sort By:

Bortoluzzi 2004 Pinot Grigio (Venezia Giulia)

Price $17

Here’s a Pinot Grigio with fruit selected from five different vineyards in Friuli’s Gradisca d’Isonzo area. Three of the sites render fruit used as the wine’s backbone and the remaining sites render fruit with more delicate aromas of dried hay, vanilla bean and dried lemon rind. Imported by Empson (USA) Ltd. — M.L. (6/1/2006)

Bortoluzzi 2005 Pinot Grigio (Venezia Giulia)

Price $17

Deep floral aromas are enhanced by traces of minerality and lavender-scented candle. This is a very likeable, clean and polished Grigio with full apricot and peach flavors. Imported by Empson (USA) Ltd. — M.L. (6/1/2006)

Bortoluzzi 2008 Friulano (Collio)

Online Exclusive

Price $21

Bortoluzzi’s Friulano is redolent of pear, Golden Delicious apple and melon. The wine delivers a beautifully luminous golden color and by its appearance you can see the rich concentration. The creamy, dense mouthfeel would pair with Béchamel-based dishes. — M.L. (8/1/2009)

Bortoluzzi 2008 Sauvignon (Venezia Giulia)

This Sauvignon opens with a lively color and offers broad aromas of exotic fruit and white flower. It’s not as intensely aromatic as you would expect but it does deliver satisfying sensations of crispness and freshness to the mouth. Pair it with spicy Thai or Indian dishes. — M.L. (8/1/2009)

Bortoluzzi 2007 Sauvignon (Venezia Giulia)

Price $21
