Friendsgiving at Michelle and Julian’s. Alongside homemade pizzas! Wine was delicious. Big and fruity, tannins completely smooth. This has really become “sweeter” over time, very different from when we first tasted it in 2011. Someone commented that it tasted raisiny like Amarone, which I found really interesting. I’ll have to learn more about wines from this region!

Seems well balanced, clean, well made, very fruit forward for an old world wine. The bordeaux varietals and refosco blend just doesn't appeal to me. I do really like the bianco though.
