Friuli undoubtedly made its mark in this panel tasting. Lis Neris – a historic family estate founded in 1879 – is located on the upper gravel plateau of a river valley shaped by glaciers not far from the border with Slovenia in Italy’s far northeast. With its cuvée Gris, the aim is clear: to craft a powerful, concentrated Pinot Grigio with real ageing potential, capable of standing alongside the great wines of Alsace and challenging the notion that Pinot Grigio is destined solely for early consumption. Melania Battiston: This has aged with elegance and class. A first few notes of marzipan have started to develop, with camomile and chalk hints. Honeyed, cereal finish, incredibly long-lasting. Andrea Briccarello: Brilliant gold. Clean, open, tropical and citrus. A floral nose with salty herbal complexity. Lively and elegant, with a mineral palate and a moreishly poised finish Bruno Besa: Dried grass and flowers, confit lemon intensity. Shows balance and evolution, with uplifting aromatics and honeyed, tropical mix notes.
