Bastianich's Venezia Giulia Friulano Plus comes from a single Friulano vineyard with vines over 70 years old, located in the hills of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The grapes are carefully harvested and selected, with a small portion of the bunches left to dry in order to further concentrate aromas and structure. Vinification followed by ageing in large oak vessels and extended bottle ageing helps develop richness, complexity and elegance. The result is a substantial and structured white wine, expressing the character of the Friulian terroir with great personality.
Bright golden yellow in colour. The nose is mature and intense, offering aromas of mandarin, orange, melon and pear, complemented by delicate mineral and spicy nuances. On the palate, it is rich, dense and enveloping, with pleasant softness and impressive structure. The finish is exceptionally long and persistent, with an elegant return of ripe fruit and a refined savoury character.
An important white wine, perfect for a special dinner or to accompany dishes with distinctive flavours. Ideal with foie gras, shellfish and soft cheeses, it also pairs beautifully with spicy Thai and Vietnamese cuisine.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a serving temperature of 10/12°C.
