Flaibani Pinot Grigio 2013

Friuli-Venezia Giulia, ItalyPino Flaibani owns five hectares of steep, terraced, hilltop vineyards, makes one wine, and this blush pinot grigio is it. As in the traditional Friulian way, this was left on the skins for a few hours, imparting the characterful copper blush hue (much like the label). A silken palate brings light florals, gentle peach blossom and lifted acidity, with the extended skin contact providing a lick of texture and interest. A charming example, and a nice offset to commercial Italian pinot grigio.Tasted: 25 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
