The 2011 W?. Dreams? is an almost pure expression of Chardonnay (some tiny percentages of other grapes are added) with sophisticated and exceptionally creamy aromas of exotic fruit, pineapple, toasted almond and freshly-churned butter. The strong oak imprinting is beautifully matched by the natural intensity of the fruit. Soft layers of pulpy peach and apricot give the wine exciting depth and width. Drink: 2014-2019. One of the great pioneers of Friuli wine, Silvio Jermann and his family continue to shake things up in the wider world of vino italiano. Their efforts represent a huge step in the collective consciousness towards screw-cap closures, a move that otherwise seemed light years away. Importer: Empson USA, www.empson.com
