This is a ripe wine from La Castellada, more evolved and showing some heaviness. The 2012 Collio Friulano has good structure and minerality, with crushed stone lying underneath notes of canned peach and pineapple. I think I'd pair this with spicy grilled chicken thighs dipped in chipotle mayonnaise. Following four days of skin maceration, the wine ages in barrique for one year. Some 3,300 bottles were produced.
