The 2008 Prulke is once again fabulous. Vitovska, Malvasia and Sauvignon find beautiful counterpoints with each other in this refined, harmonious white. Light honey, mint and crushed flowers swirl around in the glass, adding further dimensions of complexity. The balance and sense of harmony are totally compelling. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
Beniamino Zidarich continues to set a high bar for the wines of the Carso, one of Friuli's most fascinating terroirs. This is a superb set of 2008s.
