Tal Lùc comes in an elegant little bottle that beautifully sets the stage for the fabulous dessert wine to follow. The color is deeply golden and saturated and aromas include toasted almond, dried yellow rose, candied fruit and apricot. The creamy texture would pair with something different than dessert, say a delicate sliver of duck liver pâté.

This is made from Verduzzo grapes and a tiny percentage of Riesling; the former variety gives the wine depth, substance, bright yellow-gold color and pretty aromas of butterscotch and caramel. The Riesling adds a touch of floral fragrance.

Made with partially dried grapes, Tal Lùc is an extraordinary dessert wine. It offers unlimited generosity and lush tones of honey, butterscotch, marzipan and dried apricot. It has thick, sweet density and ends with piquant crispness. Pair this wine with pâté or foie gras.

Pure joy and beauty emanate from the gorgeous bouquet of this golden dessert wine from northeast Italy. Intense aromas include peach, apricot, honey, almond and yellow rose and the impression the wine makes in the mouth is that of density and opulence. You can pair it with a not too sweet dessert, like panna cotta, or drink it alone.

I served this wine with endive salad and smoked salmon and it was absolutely divine. The blend of white grapes delivers delicious aromas of yellow flower, peach, creamy vanilla and crushed almond. It leaves a silky but rich impression in the mouth thanks to tonneau aging and traces of residual sugar; has enough body to match the smoky flavors of salmon.

Lis is a gorgeous blend of Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvignon that shows the best of northeast Italy. Beautifully balanced aromas, including stone fruit and vanilla cream, are offset by a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.

This is a truly beautiful Grigio with notes of baked apple, pear, nuts and added layers redolent of minerals and dried herbs. It delivers rich intensity in the mouth with a creamy texture, sweetness and refreshing spice on the close. The wine ferments and matures in French oak.
