Tasting notes
Here's a wine of great varietal personality and depth. A pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc, the 2013 Friuli Isonzo Picol is fragrant and pure with an impeccable presentation of passion fruit aromas followed by wild sage, crushed mineral, tomato leaf and bitter almond. In the great tradition of Friuli whites, this wine shows a creamy consistency and more textural richness than white wines from other Italian regions. That medium-bodied quality should age the wine forward for the next three or four years.

The green, grassy side of Sauvignon Blanc comes through loud and clear in the estate's 2013 Sauvignon Blanc Picol. Mint, pine, sage, tomato leaf and crushed rocks all add considerable nuance to the finely sculpted finish. Readers should expect a fairly assertive, focused Sauvignon, yet within the style, all the elements are very nicely balanced.
