I Clivi (certified organic)
Italy / Friuli / Friuli Colli Orientali DOP
White of Friulano
One 750ml bottle (12 bottles make a full case)"Although it is now known that Friulano, formerly called Tocai Friulano, is not related to Sauvignon Blanc (it is in fact the same as the minor Bordelais variety Sauvignonasse, according to Jancis Robinson), it does show clear herbal notes. I love Sauvignon Blanc, but this wine shows a more broadly useful balance between herbal flavors and nutty or citrus notes. Bright, fresh, complex, delicious. This was the wine that alerted me to the quality of the estate when it was suggested to me by Taylor Parsons at Osteria Mozza." -Oliver McCrum
