In the glass
Aroma: yellow apple, bitter almond, white blossom, lemon zest, hay
Palate: green apple, almond pith, lemon, saline finish
Russiz Superiore's classical Collio Friulano, vinified in stainless steel since 1967. Yellow apple and bitter almond aromatics over a saline finish, with longer bottle-ageing potential than the Marco Felluga sister bottling.
What it pairs with
-
Frico con patate
Friulian Montasio and potato cake echoes the wine's almond skin; high acidity scrubs the cheese fat. -
San Daniele ham
Air-cured Friulian ham finds a peer in the wine's bitter almond and saline edge. -
Asparagus risotto
Almond blossom aromatics meet the spring vegetable's bitterness; medium body holds the Carnaroli starch.
History
Russiz Superiore's classical Collio Friulano, vinified at the Capriva del Friuli estate since 1967. The Felluga family's historic Collio property next to Marco Felluga's Gradisca cellar.
