In the glass
Aroma: yellow apple, bitter almond, white blossom, lemon zest, hay
Palate: yellow stone fruit, almond skin, lemon pith, saline finish
Nicola Manferrari's classical Collio Friulano, with longer lees ageing than the everyday norm. Yellow apple and bitter almond over a saline almond-skin finish with cellar potential.
What it pairs with
-
San Daniele ham
Air-cured Friulian ham finds a peer in the wine's bitter almond and saline edge; the regional pairing. -
Frico con patate
Friulian Montasio and potato cake echoes the wine's almond skin; high acidity scrubs the cheese fat. -
Asparagus risotto
Almond blossom aromatics meet the spring vegetable's bitterness; medium body holds the Carnaroli starch.
History
