Schiopetto - Collio M 2017

FALSTAFF: "Glänzendes, zartes Hellgelb. Sehr klare Nase, eröffnet mit Noten nach Anis, Fenchelsamen, im Hintergrund nach Ananas und Birne. Saftig und geradlinig am Gaumen, fein entwickelte Frucht."

ANTONIO GALLONI: "Luminous straw-green. Tangerine jelly, candied lime peel, yellow apple and almond on the rich but bright nose. Then ripe and mellow, offering lime and apple flavors that linger nicely on the suave finish. There’s sneaky concentration here, but what I like best is the clean delivery of very pure fruit. Not particularly closed for a young Friulano, but the powerful texture and extended finish suggest there's more awaiting ahead."

JAMES SUCKLING: "The transparency to this is mesmerizing with fantastic depth and energy. It’s full-bodied yet driven and focused with subtle peach-skin, apple, white-pepper, crushed-stone and mineral character. Long finish. Tight and precise. Drink or hold."

THE WINEADVOCATE: "There's a nice easy freshness to the 2017 Collio Friulano, brushed with lemon, pear and apple notes. It's easy-drinking but not oversimplified. Its fullness and richness would make it a nice accompaniment to a thick Slovenian jota (stew) of pork, beans and cabbage. The wine only sees contact with stainless steel. Production is an ample 40,000 bottles."
