Schiopetto
Collio Friulano
Collio, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
The 2021 Friulano is youthfully understated with a pretty bouquet that mixes lemon zest with mint and crushed rocks nuances. It washes across the palate with a tension-building mix of citrus-tinged acids and salty minerals as a core of tropical melon evolves toward the close. The 2021 finishes on a more delicate note, yet long with pretty inner florals that linger on and on. There’s a beautiful balance and underlying power here that will guarantee a lovely maturation in bottle. The best is yet to come. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2023)
