In the glass
Aroma: yellow apple, almond, dried herbs, hay, honey
Palate: candied lemon, yellow stone fruit, tea tannin, saline finish
The estate's Friulian field-blend orange wine of Chardonnay, Malvasia Istriana and Friulano. Yellow apple and almond aromatics over a tea-tannin saline finish.
What it pairs with
-
Stinco di maiale
Slow-braised pork shank meets the wine's tea-tannin grip; saline finish refreshes between bites. -
Risotto with porcini
Almond and hay aromatics echo the mushroom umami; full body holds the Carnaroli starch. -
Aged Montasio
The Friulian cow cheese mirrors the wine's yellow apple core; medium tannin scrubs the cheese fat.
History
Damijan's three-variety field-blend orange wine, launched at the same time as the Ribolla in the inaugural extended-maceration programme.
