Friuli-Venezia Giulia is located in the northeast corner of Italy, bordering Austria and Slovenia.  The Julian Alps, named for Julius Caesar, preside over the northern landscape, while the south is comprised of villages and towns leading to the Gulf of Trieste. Being as close as it is to the country’s border, it’s historically been a veritable magnet for invasions, by everyone from Attila the Hun to Napoleon. In the 18th century, Charles of Hapsburg opened up Trieste and Fiume as “free trade” ports. But this only served to give Austria access to the Meditterranean and make these trade hubs very prosperous while the rest of the region was steeped in poverty. But after World War II, areas rich in agricultural traditions were able to benefit from the rise in modern industry and the region as a whole rose from its downtrodden past. 
 
The Alps and Adriatic sea are the region’s great climate moderators. Mountainous DOCS to the north and east benefit Read more »

Big herbal scents accompanying a somewhat oak-laced cabernet sauvignon nose. The longer the wine sat in the glass, the more merlot character showed up. Good fruit on the palate with berry and black currant. The acidity kind of jumped out at me at fi...

Gregory Dal Piaz

A fine balanced, if somewhat large scaled Tocai that combines the classic gently herbal aromatics with notes of melon, ruby red grapefruit pith and dry soil tones. In the mouth this is rich and offers up a fine core of almost peachy tones backed up by ...

The nose was exuberant with aromas of ripe peach, grapefruit, spicy floral notes, toasted cashew and brown sugar. On the palate, it was silky and rich with a hint of sweetness. Sweet peach, orange zest and spices saturated the senses with a slight bitt...

Lovely yellow/reddish tan faded color. Leather and earthy cherries on the nose. Medium body and acidity. Nicely tannic finish with a slight fungal cherry note and a fruity dirty finish. Really enjoyable.

A bit of peach and apricot, nuts, nice thick mouthfeel sort of reminiscent of Chardonnay. A bit of grass, nice and warm. Good!
