Friuli Colli Orientali

Full

Cork

Extraordinary layered complexity on the nose, which maintains the purity of dark mulberry fruit alongside aromas of graceful maturity; dried herbs, moss, tamarind, fig leaf, a touch of liquorice, juniper, incense, tobacco leaf and truffle. Starting tight, intense and very concentrated, it then opens like a fan on a tactile palate of great depth and breadth, with a firm underlying grip and an infinitely long savoury finish including a whiff of iodine – the signature of the calcareous marl of the Colli Orientali. If it was a building, this would be a medieval castle, built to last for centuries. A rather special wine. This 2013 is the current release.
