The region of Friuli in northern Italy is like a sweet shop for grown ups with a penchant for interesting, aromatic and pure white wines (and some delicious reds too). This one is a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Tocai Friulano, co-fermented according to Friulian tradition, which is incredibly challenging in terms of achieving perfect harmony - but the talented Scarbolos have succeeded wonderfully. With the rich foundation of the Chardonnay, the lifted freshness of the Sauvignon Blanc and a certain je ne sais quoi (but very possibly the touch of botrytis) of the Tocai Friulano, this is interesting in the best possible way - complex and classy and utterly delicious.
