Saurint Colli Orientali Del Friuli Sauvignon Blanc 2020

22/6/8-10 with scallop crudo, fresh homemade tagliolini al Portonat, frico, etc. side by side with the Gnemiz Sol, this was deeper, more spherical, and more complex. A pretty remarkable range of aromas - from classic Sauvignon scents to richer peach and nectarine, honey, mint, vanilla, cool stone, etc. The palate was very deep and richly satisfying while still being sprightly and drinkable, with tons of minerality that was somehow round rather than salty. This was one of the best young Sauvignon Blancs I’ve had, and I’d love to see it with some age. — 2 years ago

Podere Pradarolo

Ex Alba Bianco Macerato 2019

With Podere Pradarolo, it’s all extreme. Extremely long macerations for all the whites and Rose’s. Ex Alba sees 45 days on its Trebbiano skins then heads to the barrels. This is less than a fourth the time Vej sees on skins by the way.

I prefer Ex Alba. It’s less hops and more florals. Spiced citrus bitter peppery apple cider vinegar tea.

Interesting. Thanks for the insight. I'll look for this. I'm a fan of the bdx blends from this area. Affordable, right?

@Chris MacLean I think so (I just tasted, didn't buy)...likely in the $30 range.

Più Colli Berici Carménère - Merlot Blend 2016

Interesting blend of Carmenere (75%) and Merlot (25%) from the Veneto. Dark berries, cocoa and black pepper aromas. Spicy pallet with big red and black fruit. Hint of soy sauce. Lots of firm tannin and length on the finish. Bold and interesting. — 3 years ago

Wild stuff providing a funky edge to its dense and beautifully textured dark fruit flavors. Tannins are serious and still youthfully tight, this infant has palate cleansing acidity and an already integrated oak regime. — 7 years ago
