Vie di Romans, Glesie, Friuli, Isonzo, 2016

A late-release single-vineyard wine from this top Friuli Venezia Giulia winery, Glesie spends nine months in stainless steel, nine months in French barriques and over three years in bottle. It offers generous aromas of tarte tatin, wildflower honey, cinnamon, flint, and a subtle note of light tobacco. Bright acidity and mouthwatering savouriness take centre stage on the full-bodied palate, balancing the varietal creaminess and leading to a mineral-driven finish extended by a kiss of oak spice.
