Il Roncal 2005 Vigneti Montebello di Fornalis Picolit (Colli Orientali del Friuli)
- $59
This vineyard-designate Picolit is a pale shade of gold and boasts elegant aromas of honey, nut, caramel, toast and interesting shades of mint and peppermint in the background. The feel in the mouth is lively and fresh and the wine awards a long, sweet finish.

Deep golden notes of honey, stone fruit and acacia flower open this beautifully luminous blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Riesling. The wine has a creamy, rich personality and brightens the palate with its crisp, almost steely freshness.

Il Roncal 2006 Pinot Grigio (Colli Orientali del Friuli)

Il Roncal 2006 Ribolla Gialla (Colli Orientali del Friuli)
- $21
There’s a nutty, pecan quality to this wine that has layers of pine, butterscotch and mandarin skin. There are sharp edges here, but the wine definitely has character. It tastes chewy and slightly sweet in the mouth, with sour almond on the close.

Il Roncal 2006 Tocai Friulano (Colli Orientali del Friuli)
- $21
Honey and exotic fruit create a pretty combination in a wine that relies heavily on its thick creamy mouthfeel to pull it forward. It’s a bit unfocused in the mouth but does a nice job overall.
