The 2009 Ribolla & Malvasia Lo Speziale Bianco is certainly beautiful from a textural standpoint, but I am not sure what the rationale is for blending these two very distinctive grapes. The aromatic and flavor profile is much closer to Friulano, while the expressive, exotic aromatics that are typical of Malvasia are nowhere to be found. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.
