Palate: green apple, almond skin, lemon pith, saline finish

The classical Collio Friulano from the Marco Felluga estate. Yellow apple and bitter almond aromatics over a saline almond-skin finish.

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 croccante
    Friulian Montasio crisp echoes the wine's almond finish; high acidity scrubs the cheese fat.
  • Asparagus risotto
    Almond blossom aromatics meet the spring vegetable's bitterness; medium body holds the Carnaroli starch.

History
