Drinking Window: 2020 - 2025
A blend of 80% Pinot Bianco, 15% Pinot Grigio and 5% Friulano. The first two grapes were whole-cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel; the Friulano was fermented on the skins for 48 days. The final result is superb, with aromas of fresh peach and mango, herbs and beeswax. On the palate, there is a pleasantly dense texture carried to impressive length by a mouthwatering freshness.
