A delightful yet more serious blend from the Marco Felluga stable. Specific acacia aromas are joined by spiced pear and sweet grapefruit, and the fruit elements translate directly to palate flavors over a silky texture (thanks to large format oak) and a bright finish where the pear is elevated slightly now. I’d like to see this alongside a spicy sea bass on the table – a light saline note in the finish will tie it all together. Contains 40% Pinot Bianco, 35% Friulano, 15% Sauvignon and 10% Ribolla Gialla.
