The 2008 Malvasia Selezione is a powerful, inward wine. While texturally quite beautiful, there isn’t as much varietal definition or expressiveness as I had expected. Light floral, honeyed notes inform the finish. For any other producer, the 2008 Malvasia Selezione would be a standout but here it suffers a bit in comparison next to the superb 2009s. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.
Proprietor Nicola Manferrari has few peers in Friuli, or Italy for that matter. This is a gorgeous set of truly exceptional world-class whites. As always, the only issue is finding the wines. It would be great to see Borgo del Tiglio gain more traction in the US. Simply put, I was blown away by what I tasted this year.
