Wine By Nine

White Wine by Jermann from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Pure Pinot Gris, a grape particularly at home in northeastern Italy. In typically Jermann style, its character, flavors and aromas appear to shine through in focused intensity. Silvio Jermann's magic combines with that of Friulian soil to elicit every Pinot Grigio nuance in well balanced elegance.

White Wine by Livio Felluga from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Appearance: Straw yellow with golden hues Nose: Elegant, ample and complex with notes of wild rose and acacia flowers; hints of tropical fruit, peach, apricot, licorice, anise and white pepper Palate: Elegant, full, with good acidic balance; excellent retro-nasal aromatics; persistent aftertaste with spicy notes of peach, apricot and bergamot Serving suggestions: A particolarly good match for fish, seafood starters, risottos and baked vegetables. This fresh Pinot Grigio gains its complexity from a range of fruit flavors - high notes of lemon-lime and light pear to deeper nectarine. The fruit impressions shift like sunlight through passing clouds. Decant it for roast Cornish game hens stuffed with Meyer lemons. Wine & Spirits 92 Points

White Wine by Marco Felluga from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Golden yellow in color. It presents an intense and immediate bouquet with pronounced hints of acacia flowers, broom and apple. In the mouth it is elegantly fruity and becomes full-bodied and well-structured. It has a long finish. Excellent with all types of fish. It is also good with herb risotto, all first course dishes, even white meat based, and fresh cheese.

White Wine by Plozner from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. The Pinot Grigio grapes are characterized by a rather dark color: thus, vinification occurs without skin maceration, resulting in the wine's intense straw yellow hue. The elegant, fragrant bouquet is characterfully Friulian, quite distinct from other Pinot Gris varietals: very fresh and appealing, reminiscent of apples and exotic fruits, in time it takes on pleasant nuances of dried fruit & hay; good body, full, mellow flavors, balanced and elegant.

White Wine by Masi from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. 75% Pinot Grigio, 25% Verduzzo Interesting color nuances with notable golden reflections. Attractive flower-fresh and ripe-fruit nose. The Verduzzo grapes ensure complexity and the Pinot Grigio grapes give their usual freshness on the palate. Marked hints of dried fruit and an aftertaste with hints of pineapple. Pinot Grigio delle Venezie is the most up-to-date Italian white wine. The richness of the perfumes and aromas of this grape cultivated at Castions di Strada, in the Friuli region, complements the structure of the native Verduzzo grape, deliberately picked slightly over-ripe and matured on plateaux. Masianco is a Supervenetian of great personality which goes well with the typical dishes of today's cuisine: hors d'oeuvres, fish and grilled white meats.

White Wine by Bivio from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. ORIGIN: Collio Goriziano, the most acclaimed region of Friuli with hilly terrain and perfectly drained soils; the Rotaliano plain, a remarkable cool and airy region of Trentino, with soils formed from limestone and granite deposits carried down from the Dolomites by the Noce River. DESCRIPTION: Elegantly balanced with fresh green apple, bright citrus and clean mineral flavors leading to a crisp, satisfying finish.

White Wine by Kris from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Pale yellow in color with greenish reflections. The nose is reminiscent of acacia flowers and the delicate scent of almonds. Clean and refreshing on the palate with hints of linden and honey. Recommended with risotto dishes and grilled white meats.
