點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：372

The Gradis'Ciutta 2016 Collio Bianco Riserva is a blend of the indigenous grapes Friulano, Malvasia and Ribolla Gialla. The wine fills in its Riserva status well thanks to the extra textural fiber and the rich fruit flavors on display here. The bouquet reveals abundant stone fruit, honey and apricot. Equally as impactful are the aromas of saffron, coriander seed and crème br?lée. This is a mid-weight blended white to pair with Sùf dal Val di Guart, a rich Friulian pumpkin soup.

Here is a lovely wine from an under-the-radar estate that deserves more attention. The 2009 Collio Bianco Riserva is a phenomenal wine with a tireless and overtly generous personality. The bouquet opens to opulent tones of apricot, baked apple, pineapple, yellow rose and sweet almond. Beyond those more apparent tones are subtle tones of crushed mineral and dried Mediterranean herb. The wine offers a few pleasant surprises considering the unexpected complexity of the bouquet. Considering its age, it is holding up beautifully and promises to age forward.
