This is an exceptional still white wine from Friuli Venezia Giulia, a blend of Friulano, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. It stands out for its intense golden yellow color with amber reflections, resulting from extended maceration. The nose offers a complex bouquet of dried fruit, honey, and spices. On the palate, it is full, savory, and persistent, with long barrel aging. Serve at 12-14°C to best appreciate its pairings with rich dishes and aged cheeses.
