In the glass
Aroma: yellow apple, white pepper, bitter almond, honeysuckle, hay
Palate: green apple, almond skin, lemon pith, saline finish
Edi Keber's monovarietal-rejecting flagship: a single Collio Bianco blend of Friulano, Ribolla Gialla and Malvasia Istriana as the only wine the estate releases (since 2010). Yellow apple and white pepper aromatics over a saline finish.

History
In 2010 Edi Keber decided to release a single bottling, the Collio Bianco tradition-style blend (Friulano + Ribolla + Malvasia), arguing that the Collio DOC's identity is the blend itself rather than individual varieties. The estate releases no monovarietals.
