There is an amazing medley of aromas and flavors in this powerful Tocai. Aromas of perfumed spring blossom, almonds follow through on the palate with flavors of pears, almonds and spice, with just a touch of pepper.

A wonderful, concentrated, lightly spicy wine from the Schiopetto family, with rich flavors of honey and almonds. It has power, but also elegance.

Here is a beautifully executed northern white (mostly barrel-fermented Chardonnay and Tocai Friulano) with pristine notes of stone fruit, banana, pineapple, vanilla and yellow flowers. It has good intensity in the mouth with a silky, creamy feel and very good persistency on the finish.

This excellent blend of Chardonnay and Friulano offers a rich and reassuring feel in the mouth that would stand up to creamy artichoke risotto or white meat. Its beautiful aromas include melon, pear, apricot and a touch of butterscotch.

This is an excellent Sauvignon from Northeast Italy that stays true to the variety with aromas of cut grass, kiwi, citrus and passion fruit. The aromatic intensity is impressive and the wine is compact and refreshingly crisp and vibrant in the mouth.

Stone fruit, melon, white stone and a touch of lemon zest on the nose shape a wine with good dimension and persistency that ages on the lees for eight months. The mouthfeel is particularly attractive and skillfully achieved with an extremely soft and smooth quality. Pair it with pasta, fish, and chicken.
