A fabulous Friulano-based wine (with 10% Malvasia and 10% Ribolla Gialla), Carat is a rich and intense wine that will certainly last another five to 10 years in the cellar. Its quality is evident thanks to the velvety and rich feel the wine imparts in the mouth and its bright aromas of peach and apricot. This wine has extraordinary length on the finish too.

Loaded with strong personality and distinctive characteristics, Carat is a savory white blend with penetrating aromas of honey, almonds, oat and fragrant yellow flower. It boasts a solid build and creamy opulence that suggests a pairing with lobster or clam chowder.——M.L.(12/1/2007)—— 89
