From a winery that prefers to see what is possible rather than try to make things that fit some sort of preconceived notion comes this jaw-dropping (repeatedly, to allow access to the mouth) blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon from the far northeastern reaches of Italy. The mix of citrus and tropical fruit with notes of underbrush and ginger push with energy from crisp entry through generous midpalate and bright finish where a little peppery note adds contrast and depth. A real treat in the utmost sense.
