The 2015 Collio Studio di Bianco opens to a deep golden color with greenish highlights that shine from deep within. That luminosity is just beautiful. Three grapes are used in the blend—Sauvignon, Friulano and Riesling Renano, all planted in the estate's Ruttars vineyard. The grapes are harvested and processed together, thus creating a difficult balance in which the attributes of one variety are pitted against the other two. For example, the Sauvignon and the Riesling add the acidity necessary to balance out the Friulano that ends up being harvested later than normal. This is a robust and creamy expression that wraps thickly over the palate with stone fruit, white flowers and marine breeze aromas.
