Volpe Pasini 2005 Zuc di Volpe Pinot Bianco (Colli Orientali del Friuli)

Price $28

Solid, luscious and silky smooth, this white wine from the northern Friuli region is one of the most beautiful expressions of the Pinot Bianco grape you’ll find. Stone fruit and nutty tones are rich and penetrating and backed by more fruit and white flowers. Half the wine sees four months of oak to shape its creamy consistency and heightened complexity. — M.L. (12/1/2007)

Online Exclusive

Price $52

Here’s a thick and resinous Pinot Grigio with a deeply golden color and intense aromas of pine, almond, honey and dried apricot. This is not the light and breezy style of Pinot Grigio you may be familiar with, so look to pair this wine with Tandoori chicken or oven-roasted pasta. — M.L. (5/1/2010)
