Shop Review: This unique Pizza Lovers White Wine was created by blending an internationally well-known grape such as Chardonnay with two traditional and characteristic varieties from Friuli, Ribolla Gialla and Friulano. Softness and harmony meld with the power and typical characteristics of the region. The three grape varieties are fermented into white wine separately before being combined into a single wine in different percentages depending on the year. The wine is stored in steel tanks for around 5 months to optimize the primary aromas of the grapes.
Wine Folly: pg 96 Chardonnay- Flavors described include yellow apple, starfruit, pineapple, and butter. I think the acidity was due to the pineapple, but I did not taste any butter flavors.
Pg 111- Friulano: grapefruit, green pear, peach, tarragon, crushed gravel. I tasted the acidity from the grapefruit and the bitterness from the crushed gravel.
Personal Review: This white was a light-bodied white wine that had a slight acidic flavor. The Chardonnay flavor definitely came out which I appreciated. This was a pretty below average wine and I would not buy this wine
