FRIULANO, COLLIO ORIENTALI DEL FRIULI, DOC, 2009
Ronco dei Pini di Novello G. & C. snc

Ronco dei Pini’s Friulano vineyard is located in Prepotto, one of the most beautiful places in the “Colli Orientali of Friuli” area. This area in northeastern Italy, bordering Slovania, is known for its excellent wines. With a long growing season and moderate climate it produces clean crisp wines backed up with mouthfilling fruit.

Claudio and Giuseppe Novello took over the vineyard from their father in 1997, replanting vineyards and modernizing the cellars.

Tasting notes: Sleek, dry, round and firm in structure, this delightful white tastes of pears and pineapples, backed by an interesting undertone of minerals, all lined with a pleasingly crisp edge of lemon.
