Borgo del Tiglio Studio

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：2333

The 2010 Studio di Bianco emerges with layers of clean, beautifully delineated white peaches, lime, flowers and crushed rocks that flow gracefully from the glass. The Studio di Bianco possesses gorgeous balance all the way through to the energetic, pointed finish. There is quite a bit of minerality and vibrancy here, while the entry-level Collio Bianco is built on a rounder expression of fruit. Proprietor Nicola Manferrari crafts the Studio di Bianco from blends of Friulano/Sauvignon and Friulano/Riesling Renano both of which are co-fermented. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. My wife and I sat down for a late summer dinner at L’Androna, the best restaurant in Grado, a gorgeous seaside town in Friuli. I had just returned the day before from two weeks in Burgundy, where I tasted just about every great 2009 white Burgundy, including virtually all of the benchmarks. Within that context, the next white I tasted should have been disappointing. Instead it was a revelation. The wine? Borgo del Tiglio’s 2009 old-vine Friulano Ronco della Chiesa. On this night, the Ronco della Chiesa was every bit the equal of the vast majority of the wines I tasted in Burgundy, and frankly far better than the average. Proprietor Nicola Manferrari is one of the leading lights in Friuli. His wines deserve far more recognition than they typically receive. Make no mistake about it, these are some of the most compelling whites being made anywhere in Italy.Various American importers, including: Volio Vino Imports, Denver, CO; tel.
