The 2008 Ribolla e Malvasia Lo Speziale Bianco is the most complete of these offerings. Gorgeous, expressive aromatics lead to white peaches as the wine opens up in the glass, showing more verve and minerality than the Friulano. A long, refined finish adds the final touch. This is a wonderful effort from Scubla. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.
