The 2009 Friulano is an unsually refined white laced with peaches, mint, flowers and minerals. Crushed rocks and smoke develop in the glass, adding further shades of nuance all the way through to the polished finish. The 2009 Friulano is an unusually round, refined wine at this level. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2016. 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.Importer: Volio Distributors, Denver, CO; tel. (720) 284-7301
