La Viarte 2004 Siùm 375ml White (Delle Venezie)
-
$48
Made with a blend of two of Friuli’s most traditional grapes, Picolit and Verduzzo Friulano, Siùm shows a rich, copperish color, with intense aromas of almond paste, butterscotch, caramel, candied fruit and orange zest. The Verduzzo elements lends a distinctive characteristic of yellow candy.

La Viarte 2006 Tocai Friulano (Colli Orientali del Friuli)
-
$25
This is a light and fresh Friulano with clean, almost sharp, notes of kiwi, lime, chopped mint, passion fruit and grapefruit. The nose is almost reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc but the mouthfeel is rich, dense and crisp on the close.
