Made with Friulano and Ribolla Gialla, the 2013 Friuli Colli Orientali Biancosesto shows a beautiful sense of intensity and balance. Those may sound like two polar opposites, but this wine bridges the gap between power and grace in a seamless manner. The bouquet peels off to reveal honeydew melon, peach, talc powder and chopped pine nut. This beautiful white wine from Northeast Italy really stands out in terms of mouthfeel. The texture is creamy, long and rich.
