Winner of 23 Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri Awards
Brilliant yellow, luminous and intense.
AROMA:
Great elegance and complexity. Rich bouquet, embracing and harmonious. Refined white flowers, jasmine and acacia blossom blend with fruit notes of canary melon, yellow peach, apricot compote and tropical hints of passion fruit and pineapple. Citrus aromas are enriched by elegant creamy sensations of pastry, candied almond, vanilla, crème brûlé. Balsamic finish of cedar wood, thyme and liquorice. Constant evolution.
PALATE:
Vigorous attack, full and velvety. Excellent harmony with the nose and great refinement. Pleasant acidic note. Mineral, savoury and round. The richness of tropical fruit, nuts and creamy notes is enhanced by spicy notes of white pepper and cardamom. Long and persistent, the aftertaste is elegant and florid.
Excellent with fish dishes, with vegetable first courses, white meat and cheese.

What a terrific wine. A blend of Friulano, Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon, the 2016 Rosazzo Terre Alte stands out for the clarity of its aromas, but also for the smoothness of its mid-weight mouthfeel. This vintage offers much of what you should look for in a white blend from Friuli. You taste the brightness and that unique softness that I associate with the best wines from this region in northeast Italy. That softness is more like creaminess with a texture that is silky but also offers ample volume. Peach and lemon mousse are followed by a yeasty note that reminds me of freshly baked croissants.
